OTD 1974, school busing begins in Boston to end decades of discrimination. Enraged white parents & their kids violently protest by hurling bricks at buses and assaulting Black students from Roxbury to South Boston. One man told a reporter: "They let the nig*ers in." #JimCrowNorthpic.twitter.com/IgLQoD2GPW
Racial tensions in Boston persisted. In 1976, a Black lawyer, Ted Landsmark, was heading to Boston’s city hall when he was attacked by a mob after accidentally walked into an anti-busing protest. One violent protester lunged at him with the sharp point of a flagpole.pic.twitter.com/d8wuB5Mn1M
School desegregation efforts in Boston led to white flight. In 1974, white students made up over 50% of the 86,000 students in Boston’s public schools. By 2014, that number dropped to 14%.
Who was the photographer of this famous, infamous photograph? Thanks.
The iconic Pulitzer prize winning photo of the anti busing era - not just in Boston but in many Northern cities. I wish Mr. Landsmark were better known. I did not realize he is still around and still very active.https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/ted-landsmarks-story-when-the-moment-comes-be-ready/109852/ …
Thank you for posting this. A correction: Mr. Landsmark is an architect, not a lawyer.
