On The Line: Where Sacrifice Begins

Boston’s Longest Running Voluntary School Desegregation Program

When you think of busing in Boston, chances are it's about a dark episode in the city's history that sparks images of violence, intolerance, and racial tension. And while most of the historical spotlight has been on forced busing to desegregate the city's schools and its legacy, there's another Boston busing story that is lesser known.

This film highlights one of the longest running voluntary school desegregation programs in the country, its' historical impact on the city of Boston and those personally involved in the program itself.
