So when Garrity's Phase II plan called for the busing of blacks and Latinos into Charlestown High and of Townie children into Roxbury, Charlestown resisted. Like other white parents around the city, parents who were able to pulled their children out of the city's public schools, opting instead for private or parochial schools. During the first week of school, Townie students boycotted the schools while their parents staged protests against forced busing. Inside Charlestown High, blacks faced taunts and physical attacks from white students. All racial profanities be removed from school property.
White students stop referring to minorities as niggers, chinks, etc.
Power agreed to try to implement the demands as best he could. Obscene gestures and acts against the white girls from black boys. Shoving of white girls in the corridors . . . . Persecuting the whites before the blacks. A few days later, a fight broke out after several white boys attacked a black named Eddie Malloy.
