Memories Of Busing In Seattle

Courtesy of MOHAI, Seattle Post-Intelligencer Collection, 2000.107
Seattle was the first major city to voluntarily adopt a comprehensive desegration policy. The busing program lasted from 1972 to 1999.

David Hyde hears from three listeners about their experiences with the Seattle Plan. Heather, Martin, and Robert talk about their memories of the race-based busing program enacted by the Seattle School Board that lasted from 1972 to 1999.
