was terrible about bussing from what I’ve read. Very racist backlash. There’s that famous image of the guy with the flagpole attacking the African American. Terrible.

I’m not sure whether bussing was the right solution or not but I can say with certainty that racism was behind a lot/most of the backlash.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
