Audio produced by StoryCorps Studios in partnership with GBH Boston.
In this recording, Jared Tetreau interviews John Canty, a former teacher and administrator in the Boston Public Schools, working during the time of the busing crisis. John discusses his efforts prior to the busing plan to encourage the school system to integrate, and the resistance he faced in the process. John argues that the unwillingness of the School Committee to cooperate with integration was the driving force behind the intervention of the courts.
