Item Information

Title:
Citywide Coordinating Council daily monitoring report for Roslindale High School by Linda Davis, 1975 November 17
Description:
Citywide Coordinating Council daily monitoring report for Roslindale High School by Linda Davis. Davis reports that a white student initiated a fight with a black student and how that incident eventually involved between 15 and 30 students. The white student walked out and the black student was taken to the hospital to treat injuries sustained. Another incident at the school involved a bomb threat and an exchange between two students in a classroom, resulting in suspension. Davis believes that these incidents could have escalated were it not for Headmaster Donald Burgess.
