It is intended for the use of teachers, students, researchers, journalists, and the public interested in uncovering the story of the city.s struggle to determine the kinds of schools and type of society that its citizens wanted for themselves and their children. This Resource Package contains a brief narrative of the busing controversy; a detailed timeline of events; an inventory of primary sources, especially concerning the recall election; a list of important characters in the story; supplemental materials including maps, charts, and reports; and a detailed bibliography. The group also created a web-based exhibit of key documents that can be mounted and used by teachers and journalists interested in illustrating the controversy for others.
