Description
An account of the resource
On June 21, 1974, Judge Garrity ruled in a court case that was filed by the NAACP in 1972. He found that racial segregation was present in the Boston school system in all areas of the city, at all grade levels, and in all types of schools. A firestorm ensued, and he received a barrage of correspondence from students, parents and citizens, both in support and in hostility to his court decision. This particular student believed in integration but did not believe in busing students. The student suggested that the city instead build parks, create more clubs for children as well as sports teams.

He found that racial segregation was present in the Boston school system in all areas of the city, at all grade levels, and in all types of schools. A firestorm ensued, and he received a barrage of correspondence from students, parents and citizens, both in support and in hostility to his court decision. This student was about to be a senior in high school and wrote to Judge Garrity explaining why they should be able to stay at their current school. This particular student already bought their class ring and had their picture taken for the school yearbook and did not want to be forced to attend another school for senior year.
