Here some people created a public school district in the mid 50’s that embraced the suburban neighborhoods with covenants that prohibited non-whites from living there.
The housing laws were changed in the late 60’s but federal judges emboldened in the Warren era mandated busing of school children back into the cities deliberately to implement what people were trying to avoid in the 1950’s.
By this time the issue went past any racial considerations to the violence that was on the streets. People wanted to get out of cities and escape to the suburbs. Forcing anyone to go back ignited anger.
All those people who loved the Kennedy’s got a slap in the face that changed their minds about some liberal ideas pretty quick.
Its easy to be a liberal when its someone else that’s involved.
