Bus Burial Protests Ahead of Memphis Desegregation Hearing
In Memphis, a decommissioned school bus was buried by Citizens Against Busing to mark the desegregation case ahead of a federal hearing.

A youth sloshed gasoline inside the bus, and 50 Sherwood Junior High pupils staged a walkout to protest busing, later suspended until parents meet with school officials.
