Abstract

This photograph shows protestors at a 1975 rally in Thomas Park in South Boston. The apparently all white protestors were gathered at the rally to express their dissatisfaction with the decision to integrate Boston’s public schools by busing some students to schools outside their home districts to even out the ratios of Black students to white students in each school. Throughout the 1974–75 school year, anti-integration protestors rallied at schools and public locations to protest the new policies.
