Old South Boston High School, MLK, Jr. Day & Volunteering
I'm driving into Boston to volunteer on MLK, Jr. Day at Excel High School on Telegraph Hill in South Boston, and it dawned on me that this high school was where the South Boston Busing Riots of 1974 happened. I also drove by the Old Colony Projects, and coincidentally I had just finished reading the book "All Souls: A Family Story from Southie" by Michael Patrick MacDonald and so many of the stories in that wonderful book took place here. This podcast expands on that day and the thoughts that ran through my head.
