Answer:

President Kennedy finally end segregation on buses

Step-by-step explanation:

For decades, in the South, African Americans have been segregated, along with waiting rooms in bus stations, schools, public places, and restaurants. Seating on buses along with the white was forbidden as part of the segregation which separated them from other communities. In May 1961, Freedom Rides challenge segregation in interstate transportation in the South. Under the Presidency of Kennedy, Robert Kennedy sent federal marshals to protect the freedom riders. He also advised the Interstate Commerce Commission to end a policy of racial segregation related to African American travelling.
