Description
An account of the resource
This letter is applauding Marion Fahey and the Boston School Committee for hiring Muriel K. Harris as the new community Superintendent of District 9. Harris, as noted by Jean McGuire, held a doctorate in administration from Harvard University and was not only more than capable of the job, but was also a capable black woman. The importance of this is that Jean McGuire hopes that the hiring of Muriel K. Harris would help to bridge the gap in black representation and employment in the upper echelons of school administration.

Description
An account of the resource
This is a letter from Ms. Elma Lewis sent to Superintendent Dr. William Leary to alert him for an "Assembly of Justice" to be held by the Black Community Caucus for Quality Education. The letter lists demands to be discussed on behalf of the parents of black students, and these demands are aimed to demand quality integrated education. It discusses the need for protection for black students from being harassed, and therefore having their education affected, during the process of integration. It is signed by many dignitaries and supporters of the Black community in the Greater Boston Area as a sign of goodwill and a call to action.

Description
An account of the resource
Otto and Muriel Snowden, along with Freedom House and other leading members in the black community in Boston got together and sent this critique of the School Committee's Desegregation Plan to Judge W. Arthur Garrity. The Plan was issued on December 16, 1974, and this critique aims to address issues that the people contributing feel were left out of the plan, and discusses racial imbalances that they hope will be addressed in the implementation of the plan.
