I was sent to a black school in the 70s. There was 6 of us on the first day. 2 of us on the second week. I got beat up every day by black students and the black principal. I was 7 moved back to alaska with my dad.
Thank your Democrat fellow white for that great diverse experience😂 😅 grew up in the
80s a mexican immigrant kid had to fight my way through school and even in my 20s
The black principal beat you up?
Thank god for PBS and WGBH
They chose two poor communities. They could've used so many different communities but they chose the poorest. That's the real story.
It wouldn’t have made any difference!
the rich would have got the cops to do their dirty work the poor took did their own

White Flight destroyed Boston!! Forced Bussing is a Sin!!
My father worked his butt off to buy a house in Dorchester l, close to my school. I walked to school! It was great! He also had various sailboat at Savin Hill Yaght Club! He loved living near the ocean. He moved us out and it broke his heart.
I always hated Common Ground. I never felt it told the story of what my family and friends actually experienced.
This "documentary" seems more of the same.
At the very last meeting on assignments, he looked at the coded map and asked what about his block. BPS said there were no houses on that block. He pointed out not only were there houses, there were 37 kids that lived on that block ...and they were not the only blank spots on the map.
30+ kids, a week before school, and the system had already lost us. Everyone stayed in BPS that year. The following year, everyone left the public school system except the family across the street (Newly divorced mom, 6 kids)
Bolshevik Propaganda on steroids..
