Black teacher defends maligned South Boston neighborhood
Adrienne Weston, a Black teacher at Southie High, defends the neighborhood amid racial clashes sparked by busing. She recalls fear on arrival, disputes the idea of treacherous white supremacy, and says students from Black and white groups still find work and avoid fights when not restricted by forced busing. Weston, a Louisiana Creole and Howard alum, stresses provincialism in Boston and her pride in Black heritage while resisting labels like Uncle Tom.
