whites are living in east boston and south boston and hyde park. the naacp is arguing that the boston school committee is triggering around with the neighborhood school district lines in order to keep schools majority white. they are playing around with feeder schools. what elementary schools feed two middle schools in order to keep as many white students in majority white schools. finally in 1974 in morgan versus hannigan in a federal court case, judge arthur garrity declares that the boston schools are segregated and orders busing to desegregate boston schools. he basically takes control over boston school and begins to redraw district lines and decide who will be bused where. a couple problems, one is that because white flight had been happening in the 60s and early 70s there were fewer and fewer white students to bus. another problem, the most famous problem with the plan was that he paired south boston , predominantly irish catholic with rock sperry and bus the students into the two schools and this created a lot of tension. especially in sout

the public radio station in boston and the "boston globe" picked up the story. they carry this stark headline. i feel like i'm signing my son's death warrant. children at boston hospitals face deportation. the photo is a 5-year-old boy who has a rare condition that inhibits his body's ability to absorb nutrients from food. he is a 5-year-old kid. he has a feeding tube into his torso. he gets regular expert delicate medical care for this rare and dangerous condition that he has. he gets that care at boston children's hospital. boston children's hospital by some measures is the number one pediatric hospital in this country. here is the lead of the story. severely ill immigrants, including children with cancer, cystic fibrosis and other grave conditions are facing deportation under a change in trump administration policy that immigration advocates are calling cruel and inhumane. last week, citizenship and immigration services started sending out boilerplate letters to families with sick kids telling the families that if they didn't leave the united states in 33 day

high a percentage of its jobless asked boston did in the 1930s. boston had to because remember the money is being redistributed from massachusetts to illinois. so boston has to take care of its own for people plus it has to send money to washington so that it can be given to illinois. once you see the relief program in this way, you realize my gosh, this wasn't really so much helping needy people, although i guess if you were in illinois you may even help, but this is a redistribution taking away from massachusetts, which is usually a republican state, and giving it to illinois which is a swing state. so that's a key component, , and one that is most vigorously defended as part of franklin roosevelt's new deal. that was greatly expanded under roosevelt. technically, the relief and construction act was passed late in hoover's administration but very light entering the campaign of 32 32 and is really operated mostly under roosevelt and expanded under roosevelt. the program that is perhaps best known in the new deal is the wpa. some of you heard that

then, of course the boston tea party arrives. here are a bunch of people swarming onto the docks and destroying thousands of pounds worth of tea from the east india company, clearly an illegal act with lots of people in the colonies who believe in the law and are offended by this. well, usually of course, if you go destroy somebody's property, one of two things will happen, the person whose property you destroyed will see you in court to make you pay for it but the government could grab your people in jail for the crime that the government doesn't do that in the case of the tea party. it would be awfully hard to figure out who these people were who did this. but what the government does instead is punished the whole city of austin until the bostonians agreed to reimburse the east india company for all the tea. so, they shut the port of boston down, no ships in or out and they starve the city out of cost the merchants and dock workers money and eventually the economic pain is going to be sufficient that they will have to back down
