SUMMARY:American Experience: The Busing Battleground
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books hosts a program with award winning directors Sharon Grimberg and Cyndee Readdean\, to discuss their AMERICAN EXPERIENCE’s THE BUSING BATTLEGROUND: THE DECADE-LONG ROAD TO SCHOOL DESEGREGATION on PBS. \nIn September 2023\, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE premieres two new documentaries by Executive Producer Cameo George\, that examine the deeply mixed legacy of America’s efforts to racially integrate public schools. \nTHE BUSING BATTLEGROUND tells the story of the bitter struggle to integrate Boston’s school and captures the class tensions and racial violence that ensued when Black and white students in Boston were bused for the first time between neighborhoods to comply with a federal desegregation order. It premieres on September 11 at 9pm ET; check your local listing. It is streamable for free at pbs.org. \nABOUT THE FILMMAKERS\nSharon Grimberg: Writer\, Producer\, Director for THE BUSING BATTLEGROUND  \nSharon Grimberg is an award-winning filmmaker with 25 years of experience working for public television.
