This letter to Mayor Kevin White from a South Boston mother of nine children explains the author's anger and disappointment at the prospect of busing children out of their neighborhoods. She had five children graduate from South Boston High School and she had hoped that the other four would do so as well. The letter discusses community pride through the sports at South Boston High School. The author claims that Roxbury will never be a part of her community even if her children are forced to go to school there.
