  • "Examines the relationship between law and popular struggle. In Boston, busing was proposed as a means of integrating the schools. White parents reacted violently to the idea of having their children bused to schools in other neighborhoods, and to black children being bused in. In Atlanta, mayor Maynard Jackson, the city's first black mayor, used affirmative action to guarantee Black involvement in construction of the city's new airport. Affirmative action did not go unchallenged, as Alan Bakke took his "reverse discrimination" suit against the University of California all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court."
