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 END:VCALENDAR
