Description
An account of the resource
This is a copy of a letter sent from Roger Tyler of the Columbia Point Concerned Citizens to the Commissioner of the Boston Police Department, Robert DiGrazia. The letter lists the grievances of Columbia Point residents about unequal enforcement of the law. It outlines some of the violence faced by students from the area that are being bused as a part of the desegregation process in Boston Public Schools, and asks that the police follow the specific set of demands for safety presented by the concerned citizens of Columbia Point. It also states that the parents of these children are worried about strain that will lead to an overreaction by police.
