"Never Cried": Boston's Busing Legacy - Screening and Q&A

Join us for a screening of GBH News’ short documentary "Never Cried": Boston’s Busing Legacy followed by a conversation with producers Emily Judem and Stephanie Leydon.

Leola Hampton and her older sister, Linda Starks-Walker, were just teenagers when they were bused from their predominantly Black neighborhood of Roxbury to the white, working-class area of South Boston in 1974. The court-ordered desegregation of Boston schools forced them into a high school environment marked by violent racism and deep hostility. For years, the trauma of that experience was so profound that the sisters never spoke about it—until now.
