Description
This is a copy of a letter that was sent by Phillip Snowden of Freedom House INC. to Thomas Atkins, President of the Boston Branch of the NAACP. It is clear from this, as well as various other copies of letters in the METCO correspondence files that METCO was closely monitoring all communications relating to Boston desegregation in 1974. This letter is notifying Thomas Atkins of the violence faced by black students who were being bused, and implores him to take the concerns raised by the Black Community Caucus at the Assembly for Justice before Judge Garrity, so that law and order will be upheld.
