Abandoning the Neighborhood School: 1970s Detroit busing and its long shadow
Michigan Radio’s State of Opportunity project takes a look at the long shadow cast by the 1970s Detroit school busing controversy.
Join Sarah Alvarez for this five-part series on how the Milliken v. Bradley decision to desegregate Michigan schools rocked Detroit Public Schools and caused more divisions than integration.
Teachers and people who were just kids at the time recall the apprehension and fear they felt inside the school as community members opposed to busing started fights and threw bricks through windows.
