Next morning whites lined the pavements near South Boston High School, shaking fists and shrieking curses as six buses, with police motorcycle escorts, arrived carrying blacks from Dorchester and Roxbury. Once the students entered the building, passing through metal detectors that searched for concealed weapons, the school erupted with racial fighting. Reporters outside heard the sounds of breaking glass. "It's wild in there," one breathless teacher told them. "They're going crazy." Police finally...
