It's interesting to hear in this documentary from the adults - then children - talk about why they protested busing, threw bricks. They wanted to be part of the group, the mob. #BusingBattlegroundPBS @AmExperiencePBS

Parents swarmed the buses of Black students, throwing bananas and screaming the N word. Thousands of South Boston residents yelled at them to leave. White students stayed home. #BusingBattlegroundPBS @AmExperiencePBS
I attended Denver Public Schools in the late 60s. The Denver school board saw what happened in Boston and reversed it, sending white suburban kids from their neighborhoods to more diverse schools.
