Description
This brief memo was addressed to Boston-area ministers with the news that local police had temporarily but forcibly occupied the Columbia Point Christian Center due to tensions regarding busing. Columbia Point, a subsection of Dorchester, was well known at this time for its failing public housing projects. The creator of the memo, Oliver Powell, was a minister and leader of the Metropolitan Boston Association of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ.
