In the lead up to the 50-year anniversary of the Boston busing crisis, a group of more than three dozen community leaders are launching a new three-year initiative to remember the busing program and educate Bostonians on its legacy through conversations and exhibits.
Bused black schoolchildren arrive with police escort at South Boston High School during court-ordered desegregation crisis, South Boston, Massachusetts, 1974. Boston to integrate its public schools. That decision led to thousands of Black and white students being bused to schools out of their neighborhoods, and white Bostonians reacted with riots and violent protests.
"And we know Boston's history during that time — '60s to '70s — Boston's racism was so pervasive. We were steering people away from neighborhoods. The NAACP brought the case to challenge education systems that were basically discriminating against Black children." While students don't face that level of daily vitriol today, Curry said we still need to have conversations about quality, equity and justice in student education.
Speaking about her time teaching before busing, Peters recalled finding a five-year-old locked in a classroom closet with tape covering her mouth. The child was being punished for talking, she said, and her teacher forgot about her and left.
