The collection comprises 86 black and white photographs dating from 1905 to 1976, bulk dates 1974-1976. The collection documents the people involved in and affected by Judge Garrity's 1974 decision to desegregate Boston public schools by means of forced busing. It also documents events and reactions to those events surrounding public school integration in Hyde Park, Charlestown, and South Boston in the mid-1970s. Most of the photographs depict anti-busing protests and marches, parents demonstrating around Boston, and police. There are images of students in class and outside Hyde Park, Charlestown, and South Boston High Schools. There are also four photographs of Boston school buildings, 1905-1954. Most of the photographs are copyrighted by the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, or the AP Wire, and many of the photographs were published. A number of photographers took the photographs, including Mike Andersen, Kevin Cole, Ted Dully, Stanley Forman, Frank Hill, Ray Lussier, Roland Oxton, Leo Renahan, and M. Leo Tierney.
