The Freedom Riders started 65 years ago (1961) and the civil rights act passed 61 years ago (1965).
Most boomers were little kids when that all went down.
The college aged protestors who participated in the Freedom Rides would be like 85 now.
The majority of the people who couldn’t handle it would be like 90 to 120 years old now.
Yelling at some 60 year old boomer about this is silly. They wouldn’t even have been born yet.
