On September 12, 1974, police were stationed outside schools across Boston as Black and white students were bused for the first time as part of a desegregation plan ordered by Judge W. Arthur Garrity. The cross-town busing was met with shocking violence as angry white protestors hurled rocks and racial epithets at Black children arriving at their new schools. It was, as Mayor Kevin White's Chief of Staff Ira Jackson recalled, human nature at its ugliest. | American Experience | PBS
