Boston and Race

Do you think Boston is a racist city? Ted Landsmark was stabbed with an American flag during a desegregation protest in 1977

“It seems like war is being declared on black people in Boston, and we are helpless victims.”- Reverend Taylor of Ebenezer Baptist Church “People of color are not safe in Boston; people of color from other parts of the nation should stay away from Boston; people of color must unite against the climate of racism in the city; people of color in Boston should ask for federal protection because the city has failed to protest them.”- State Senator William Owens

“When I hear the name Celtics, I see this American flag. I see Elvis Presley. I see mom and apple pie. I see the bus with black children being overturned during the whole busing thing.”- Spike Lee

"Boston?” "There's different kinds of prejudice in the North than there is in the South, but it exists. It may not be 'I think I'm better than you,' but it might be 'I don't want to live next door to you.'" -Chris Matthews

The Boston Public Schools is the oldest public school system in the United States. Boston Latin (1635) was the first public high school and The Mather School (l939) is the oldest free public school. Before 1974, Boston was known as the home of abolitionists and reformers. It had the reputation of being the most educated city with the oldest university and the most college students per square mile. It was called 'The Athens of America." This nickname evoked enlightened thinking.
