The idea
My idea is that there is a school bus museum created by the Boston Dissertation and Busing initiative. Wants to expand the services for this program.
Who it helps and why
To give teaching and learning for Boston Public School students can learn more about the history of Boston's dissertation, accomplishments, and challenges. On redlining and blockbusting because they are connected. We have purchased the bus and have outfitting it with photos and documents. Mayor Wu and Governor Healy have both toured the bus as well.
