Deep are the Roots: Bussing in Boston

Hornburger, Jane M.

Journal of Negro Education, 45, 3, 235-245, Sum 76

Focuses on four topics: (1) the Irish stronghold of South Boston; (2) the role of the Boston School Committee in the lack of enforcement of pro-integration legislation; (3) four types of by-products of the bussing issue--political implications, violence, the changed meaning of bussing, and parental fears; and (4) the implementation of Boston's two phase Desegregation plan.
