  • Tale of Two Mayors
    Race Relations in Boston: a Tale of Two Mayors, Raymond L. Flynn and Thomas M. Menino Ronda Jackson and Christopher Winship The Stuart Incident On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart, a white, 30-year-old furrier, living in suburban Reading, Massachusetts, made a desperate 9-1-1 call to the Boston Police dispatcher. He reported that he had been shot. His wife, Carol Stuart, a lawyer, seven-months pregnant at the time, had also been shot, and was in the passenger’s seat next to him bleeding and unconscious. Though frightened and in shock, Stuart was able to provide some details of the crime. He told the dispatcher that he and his wife had just left a birthing class at a nearby hospital and gotten into their car parked near the Mission Hill housing project when a young black man in a hooded sweatshirt robbed and shot them both. The dispatcher stayed on the line with Stuart while police cruisers in the area found the Stuarts’ car and the two wounded victims.1 The Stuarts were rushed back to the same hospital where they had attended Lamaze class. Doctors performed an emergency c-section on Carol to remove the baby and, hopefully, save her life. Baby Christopher was put in the intensive care unit, but died 17 days later. Carol Stuart died six hours after the surgery. After giving police his account of the events, Charles Stuart was rushed into emergency surgery. He survived the surgery, but then went into a coma for several weeks after the shooting.2 Mayor Raymond Flynn and Police Commissioner Mickey Roache were immediately told of the shootings.

  • “The Schools Are Killing Our Kids!” the African American Fight for Self- Determination in the Boston Public Schools, 1949-1985
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “THE SCHOOLS ARE KILLING OUR KIDS!” THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FIGHT FOR SELF- DETERMINATION IN THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 1949-1985 Lauren Tess Bundy, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor David Freund, Department of History This dissertation examines a grassroots movement led by black Bostonians to achieve racial justice, quality education, and community empowerment in the Boston Public Schools during the postwar period. From the late 1940s through the early 1980s black parents, teachers, and students employed a wide-range of strategies in pursuit of these goals including staging school boycotts, creating freedom schools, establishing independent alternative schools, lobbying for legislation, forming parent and youth groups, and organizing hundreds of grassroots organizations. At the heart of this movement was a desire to improve the quality of education afforded to black youth and to expand the power of black Bostonians in educational governance. This dissertation demonstrates that desegregation and community control were not mutually exclusive goals or strategies of black educational activism. I examine the evolution of the goals, ideology, and strategy of this movement over the course of more than three decades in response to shifts in the national and local political climate. This work traces the close ties between this local movement in Boston and broader movements for racial and social justice unfolding across the nation in the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. Most importantly, my dissertation puts this movement in conversation with a broader national project of various marginalized groups in the postwar period to radically transform the institutions of democracy. This dissertation challenges a well-known narrative of civil rights and school desegregation in Boston in this period.

  • An Interview with Mel King
    Transcription: Mel King Interview with Diane Turner 3/1211990 Mel King: My name is Mel King. I live in the South End, Boston. I am currently on the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Diane Turner: Ok. Mr. King, how long have you lived in the South End? M K: Sixty one years. D T: All right. What do you think contributed to the sense of community during the earlier period? M K: I think one major thing was the sense of a shared experience, in the sharing of the land and the streets around it. I've experienced being in part of the diversity of the people living there which became kind of a sense of pride in knowing that you live with diversity. In part the fact that all of us came from families with an income (unintelligible word) and so just sharing our resources when we had limited resources helped to create a sense of community. And the other thing that I think about is that since we had a lot of kinfolk around that you had community with your kin and you had community with your neighbors. And without the automobile taking people away, without television there were a lot of things that took place right on the street. For example, I remember a wedding reception that was held and people obviously couldn't afford the Church, the wedding reception was held right on the street and all the people, there were lines of people (?), got out with mops and buckets and brushes and cleaned the street down and then the reception took place with the music, the dancing, [and] the different foods.

Peters 2017 ABSTRACT RECLAIMING THE NARRATIVE: BLACK COMMUNITY ACTIVISM AND BOSTON SCHOOL DESEGREGATION HISTORY 1960-1975 Lyda S. Peters Dennis Shirley, Chair This research study is a historical analysis of Boston school desegregation viewed through the lens of Black Bostonians who gave rise to a Black Education Movement. Its purpose is to place Boston’s school desegregation history in a markedly different context than many of the narratives that evolved since Morgan v. Hennigan (1974). First, it provides a historical connection between the 18th and 19th century long road to equal schooling and the 20th century equal educational opportunity movement, both led by Black activists who lived in Boston. Second, it provides a public space for the voices of 20th century activists to tell their accounts of schooling in Boston. The narrators in this study attended Boston public schools and became leaders and foot soldiers in the struggle to dismantle a racially segregated school system.

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how a uniquely robust ecosystem of support for Community Development Corporations (CDCs) in Boston has grown over time to make Boston a preeminent city for CDC housing production in the country. A CDC is defined as “a nonprofit, community-based development organization that engages in community development activities such as housing production, commercial property development, business development, social services and/or job creation for the benefit of community residents.”1 Boston has been a leader, first in utilizing the federal programs and later in designing and implementing creative local initiatives for affordable housing production.2 Boston’s urban renewal program resulted significant community displacement but there was also land for mayors to allocate to CDCs for the development of permanent affordable housing.
