Description
This correspondence includes a letter written by a white female resident of the West Roxbury neighborhood of Boston to Congressman Moakley, as well as Congressman Moakley's reply. The resident describes the "idioacy" of busing and asks Moakley to "use whatever means necessary" to pass a constitutional amendment to ban forced busing. In his reply, Moakley thanks his constituent for her letter and assures her that he is working "to bring Forced Busing to an end."
