♪ ♪ it was a hot, humid da y in the first week of august in 197 5 in this small, cramped hearing ro om in the boston public schools headquarte r, where there were hundreds of people waiting to testi fy in front of the school committ ee on the second phase of the boston busing pla n, where they would bus elementary school students . i was therewith three representat es from the newly formed chinese parents associatio n. they were there to plead their cas e. we organized all summer long . the meetings went from 20 parents to sometime 200 . some of the parents were parents
10:22 am
of my own student s, and some of them were my student s in my saturday english classes . and there are othe rs who are my mother's friends from the garment factor y. so all summer long they organized . they went to community meeting s, they went to community organization s, and then pleaded with community leaders to help them . and all of them, including their own husban d, would kind of laugh at their face and sa y, "women, you guys don't even speak english . "you are garment workers . what makes you think that you can take on the government ?" so they were so ma d. and they said to m e, "we're gonna have to do this on o own without their help. " so when, when their chance came u p to testify in front of the sool committe e, we have written them three time s with their demands-- no answer . sot that time, they have a chance to tell thein person, so i went with
10:23 am
them as their interprete r. we waited for three-and-a-half hours . when their name was called three of the five committee members just got up and left . and the two remaining one was whispering each othe r and snickering, and the parents didn't know what to do . they turn around and look at me, "should we stop? " i said-- i was fuming inside-- i said, "how dare them ?" but i have to be strong for these parents even though m only airst- year teacher, what do i know ? so i told them, "go right ahea d. "it doesn't matter if they're there or not, it's recorde d. so we want your statement recorded. " so they said all their demands and we didn't hear anythin g from the school committe e. so we left and we waited and waited a few more week s, and they continued to organize and strategize what to d o. the very last weekend of that summer
10:24 am
i received my assignment to report to a new schoo l, and i was to ride the bus with the student s from the south end, thugh chinatown, to charlestow n, which is about 20 minutes away from chinatown . and the night before school starte i got a call from one of the parents, they said "miss lee, we're not sending our stud ts to school tomorrow ." i said, "wait a minute how can you do thi s? how can you notify so many people in such a short time? " he said, "we'll find a way but we're not going. " so i was so nervou s. the next morning when i got up earl y and went to the bus stop the first bus stop nobody was there . the second stop, two black students got o n. and as the bus rode towards chinatown in every single bus stop i saw there were lots of peopl e, but nobody got on the bu s. so by the time we got to schoo l, the same two black students was the bus with me and they were getting nervous, because
10:25 am
they were the only two . and i have to stay calm r them . as soon as we got ther e, the principal got on the bus and said, "you better hurry up . "there's a phone call waiting for you in the offic e, from the justice department. " i said, "what did i do now ?" so it was that the justice department want me to organize a meeting with the chinese parents right away . it took us about three days to get everybody together . when we met, the first thing the representative said wa s, "you make sure that these parents kn ow that what they're doing, boycottingchool, is illegal. " one of the parents did not skip a bea t, and she said, "waia minute why is it not illega l for white people but it's illegal for us? " was smiling inside . i said, "good for her. " she set the tone for that meetin g, and within half an hou r, they got everything that they asked for, except for on e. they got all the monitors on the buses
10:26 am
they got people hired in the schools to translate for the m, but they could not get them to agr ee to hire more chinese teacher because they have to negotiate with the union . as we were leaving the meeting i said to the representative "what took you guys so lon g to answer them ?" and she said, "well, you know, the last three day s, "there was almost no chinese students in any school . "so we really need them back right awa y, to be the buffer between black and white students ." i couldn't believe what i hear d, and i couldn't even translate it for paren ts because i was fuming insid e. is that all we are worth ? to be the buffer between black and white students ? but the parents were so happ y, because they have won most of what they wante d, went back to the community and told everyon e, and the very next day, as i got on the bus, from each stop there were more and more student got on the bus . so they won and the moment of crisis
