Lol to y’all who keep arguing white resistance to “busing” was about travel time. Is that why white mobs attacked school buses carrying black children to white schools? Is that why white moms stood outside of their kids’ white schools heckling black children attempting to enter?

White Northerners harassed black children, threatened black children, beat black children riding buses into white schools because they believed in the neighborhood school and simply were trying to help black children see the value. Got it.
