Description
This correspondence includes a letter sent to Congressman Moakley from a resident of the Boston suburb of Westwood, as well as Moakley’s response. The constituent outlines seven “reasons why I am opposed” to forced busing and asserts the hope that Moakley “will work toward ending forced busing not only in Boston by nationwide.” In his response, Moakley expresses that he shares his constituent’s frustration and asserts that he is working to get a constitutional amendment passed that will ban forced busing.
