@the_emancipator: Watch as Leola Hampton, who was a 14-year-old high school student when Boston’s desegregation busing program began in 1974, recalls her experiences traveling through anti-desegregation protests to get to her predominantly White high school. #boston #bostonbusing #segregation #racism #protests
More people in MA need to be talking about this, screaming about it even!! it happened HERE. Thank you for sharing your story Leola.

These were CHILDREN! Treated this way by full grown adults. How does this not break your heart? This is a part of American history and it doesn’t matter if you like it or not, it HAPPENED. We need to know ALL of our history to be able to learn and not do shit like this again.

They didn’t tell us much about this in school growing up. And I grew up only a few miles outside the city.

South Boston is still racist as hell, that’s also where a majority of the Boston Poloce Officers were born and raised and still reside today.
