The c ourt-ordered desegregation of Boston schools forced them into a high schoo l environment marked by violent racism and deep hostility. For years\, the trauma of that experience was so profound that the sisters never spoke ab out it—until now. In Never Cried Boston’s Busing Legacy\, a short d ocumentary from GBH News\, we explore how the pain of Boston's "busing cri sis" still resonates today\, impacting both those who lived through it and future generations. Leola and Linda share their memories of the hateful c rowds\, the threats\, and the constant fear\, as well as the ways their ex periences have shaped their lives. "It was like a fire consuming everythi ng around it\," recalls Gary Bailey\, professor at Simmons University\, as he reflects on the city's intense reaction to Judge Arthur Garrity's 1974 ruling to integrate Boston’s segregated schools. This film delves into the lasting effects of that decision\, examining how Boston—and people l ike Leola and Linda—are still grappling with its legacy.  LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Cineclub/Somerville West Branch Library: Crossfire (+ discussion) (RSVP required) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260211T233000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260212T013000Z UID:157897293853 DESCRIPTION:Red Hollywood &\; Film Noir: Film Screening and Discussion\ , February 11Join us to watch Crossfire\, the first of three movie screen ings and discussions delving into the world of film noir and its powerful social commentary.Film noir remains one of the most iconic stylistic movem ents in international cinema. Though it has continued today in internation al media as far as television and video games\, it’s most associated wit h the post World War II movement of dark cinema in Hollywood that shined a harsh light on a society undergoing intense trauma and rapid change. A su bgenre of these films is what filmmaker Thom Andersen labels\, “film gri s.” A series of film noir movies made by socially active communists and left-wingers in Hollywood\, that used the stylistic trademarks of film noi r and the archetypes of the crime genre to create scathing realist portrai ts of post-war poverty\, disillusionment\, and racism. This series looks a t three films that particularly focus on the widespread danger of anti-sem itism post WWII\, exploitative labor in athletics\, and the dangers of mob justice. Importantly\, these films are works of entertainment that’ll b e used to create a wide-ranging discussion on how artists can work within popular formulas to provide though-provoking social commentary and critiqu e.The first movie in this series will be Crossfire.This event will be hel d on Wednesday\, February 11\, at West Branch Library (40 College Ave.) fr om 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Learn more and register.
