Description
An account of the resource
Students at the Oliver W. Holmes School in Dorchester, MA wrote essays on their experiences with Phase I of the court ordered desegregation of Boston public schools. The students' teacher sent the essays to Mayor Kevin White. Almost all of the essays demonstrate that while desegregation was the focus in the beginning of the school year, that disappeared as they formed new friendships and went on multiple field trips. When this student first heard about integration in Boston schools, he thought it was a good idea. One of the most memorable moments of the school year was when he was elected to the Bi-Racial Council. The council allows students to get together and speak on racial issues.

Description
An account of the resource
Students at the Oliver W. Holmes School in Dorchester, MA wrote essays on their experiences with Phase I of the court ordered desegregation of Boston public schools. The students' teacher sent the essays to Mayor Kevin White. Almost all of the essays demonstrate that while desegregation was the focus in the beginning of the school year, that disappeared as they formed new friendships and went on multiple field trips. This particular student is against busing, even though she agrees with integration. She believes that students should be able to choose which school they want to attend.

Description
An account of the resource
Students at the Oliver W. Holmes School in Dorchester, MA wrote essays on their experiences with Phase I of the court ordered desegregation of Boston public schools. The students' teacher sent the essays to Mayor Kevin White. Almost all of the essays demonstrate that while desegregation was the focus in the beginning of the school year, that disappeared as they formed new friendships and went on multiple field trips. This particular student was bused to school and was frightened to enter an integrated school. Immediately, he made friends with two black classmates. He did not want to attend the Holmes school for a second year, not because of integration but because the school was older and in poor condition.

Description
An account of the resource
Students at the Oliver W. Holmes School in Dorchester, MA, wrote essays on their experiences with Phase I of the court ordered desegregation of Boston public schools. The students' teacher sent the essays to Mayor Kevin White. Almost all of the essays demonstrate that while desegregation was the focus in the beginning of the school year, that disappeared as they formed new friendships and went on multiple field trips. The student in this essay was not bused, but did not want to attend the Holmes school. They go on to explain that while there wasn't violence at the Holmes school, there were several stabbings outside of school at the Ashmont train station. Despite all of that, the student proclaimed that it was their favorite school year.

Almost all of the essays demonstrate that while desegregation was the focus in the beginning of the school year, that disappeared as they formed new friendships and went on multiple field trips. The student in this essay was frightened of being bused to an integrated school, thinking that white people would gun down the buses. However, the student began to feel safe at school, made friends, and hopes to remain at the Holmes school the following year.

Description
An account of the resource
The two students from Walterboro, South Carolina, wrote to Mayor Kevin White about their experience with integration in their town in 1971 - 1972. Although many were unhappy at first, there was minimal violence and no protests to integration. The two students came up with a list of rules for a "Together School" that they felt would be useful for Boston schools.
