Read the excerpt from "Freedom Riders” Freedom Riders were fighting for black people’s right to sit wherever they chose on buses traveling from one state to another. The law gave us that right, but in most Southern states, the drivers and other passengers tried to make black people sit in the back of the bus anyhow—and the police often helped them. We Freedom Riders sat wherever we wanted on the bus. And we had to be prepared to keep doing it, no matter what people did to try to stop us. That was the hard part. The first groups of riders had been badly beaten, just like the people who sat-in at lunch counters demanding that black people be served in the same seats as whites.

Based on this excerpt, it is reasonable to infer that

activists standing up for equal rights in the US in the 1960s were often faced with violence.
there was a general consensus in the US in the 1960s that everyone deserved equal rights.
as a result of the violence they faced, civil rights activists in the US in the 1960s were not successful.
most people who lived in the northern US in the 1960s traveled south to fight for civil rights.
