About this film
South Boston High headmaster Jerome Wynegar comments on end of federal receivership of his school. Calmly says he seldom encounters overt hostility. Expects no substantial change in programs and attitudes now that jurisdictional control has reverted to the city. A very bitter and angry Robert Lunnin, marshal from South Boston Information Center, interrupts reporter's standup. Says Wynegar lies, exaggerates attendance; that resistance to forced busing comes from both students and parents; that desegregation will never work ?especially with the housing situation? (referring to effort to integrate blacks into public housing). He vehemently pronounces ?forced busing.?
