White, Kevin H.
Description
Letter from a Dorchester parent to one of their children's schools. The parent informs the school of the reason for the child's absence, which is violence related to busing. The parent's daughter had been assaulted, and they did not want the other child to also be physically hurt. The parent emphasized that the child should receive extra homework for the days missed, but should under no circumstances remain in Roxbury after school had let out.

White, Kevin H.
Description
This letter to Mayor White explains the mother's position against busing for her daughter. The father of the child is black and the mother is white. The mother is afraid that if her daughter is bused to South Boston she will be in danger because of her father's race, and if she is bused to Roxbury she will be in danger because of her mother's race. The letter also explains the mother's ideas for alleviating the issues within Boston.
