There were many people that were a part of the Freedom Riders group who were considered as Heroes. Some of them were my friends. They were people who wanted equality between humans no matter what race they were. One of the heroes was James Lawson. He was the son and gradson of Ministers. He joined a group called CORE, which stood for Congress of Rasial Equality, in 1948. Another hero i know of would be Bob Filner. Bob Filner was a part of an organized group with other high school students that participated in civil rights marches in 1957. Both of these people are examples of heroes in the Freedom Riders group.
