In September, 1974 – two days after her 14th birthday – Leola Hampton boarded a school bus that would launch her into the heart of one of the most divisive and defining moments in Boston history: court-ordered school desegregation.

They navigated a violent and virulently racist high school experience so scarring that a half-century later, they are only now beginning to discuss it with each other.


Leola and Linda share their story in GBH News' short documentary, "'Never Cried': Boston's Busing Legacy" . Join us for a screening of the film, along with a discussion with the film's producer and subjects about how the legacy of Boston's busing crisis lives on today.
