Audio produced by StoryCorps Studios in partnership with GBH Boston.
In this recording, Ed Bol is interviewed by Diane Buxton about his early life in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Ed explains how enrollment dropped off sharply in Queen Anne schools following the implementation of the busing plan during his freshman year of high school. By his senior year, his neighborhood schools were closed by the city. Ed offers his opinions about why school desegregation was, in his view, a failed experiment.
