Boston March For Integration Sets Today Parade
Thousands of demonstrators from across the nation are expected to march to Boston Common to advocate school desegregation while passing near a convention of anti-busing groups. NAACP leader Thomas Atkins says the event will deliver a strong message against segregation amid heightened antibusing sentiment and a major desegregation plan pending from U.S. Judge Garrity. Police units including horsemen and K-9 teams will guard the two hour march from Fenway to Boston Common, with organizers framing the event as a peaceful assertion of civil rights.
