but the celtics, the boston celtics, badly wanted larry bird. and a lot of people thought it was no coincidence that boston would use a draft pick for a great white player and wait a whole year. it just seemed to fit with the racial outlook of the city in the 1970s. and so here we need to talk about boston, okay? we're going to come back to this backlash story. more than any other american city, it was boston that symbolized the white backlash of the 1970s. let me remind you. the boston red sox were the last major league baseball team to sign a black player, right? elijah pumpsie green in 1959. a lot of people thought this was indicative of the racial climate in the city. they weren't surprised that it was boston that went last. more to the point in the 1970s, boston was the center of the anti-b anti-b anti-busing movement in the united states. busing was the single most disruptive social policy of the 1970s. affirmative action was controversial. controversial. in the 1970s, the federal courts were trying to desegregate schools. schools were sti
