We examine the Boston busing crisis of the 1970s. Although school segregation in the South gets most of the attention in the history books, integrating Boston's schools triggered violence and protests in a city that considered itself a role model. Featuring interviews with a former headmaster of the Boston Latin School, scholars, and people who lived through the incident, we explore how integration shook South Boston and Roxbury and even gave Whitey Bulger's crime syndicate a boost. We also look at how the incident continues to shape Boston today.
