The group stayed at Fellowship House, a Quaker meetinghouse and dormitory at 945 L Street, NW, where they underwent orientation for the ride. This included role-playing exercises, presentations on the culture of the Deep South and federal and state laws regarding discrimination in interstate transportation, and training in nonviolence and what to do in case of arrest. They agreed not to seek bail if arrested but to serve out their terms. Volunteers were free to back out, without being stigmatized, of what would surely be a dangerous journey. SOURCE
