Zebulon Miletsky

Dr. Zebulon Miletsky, an expert in Africana Studies and History, discusses the often-overlooked racial tensions in Northern cities like Boston during the busing era of the 1970s. He reveals how decades of de facto segregation led to a chaotic integration process that didn't uplift educational standards. Through personal narratives and historical events, he sheds light on the community's resistance to integration, the violent backlash it provoked, and the ongoing struggles for racial equality that challenge the city's liberal reputation.
