In [[Nixon]]'s landslide 49 state re-election of 1972, [[Massachusetts]] was the only state that remained solidly in the Democratic camp. Black parents filed a desegregation lawsuit the same year, and the [[NAACP]] argued the case. According to ''Politico'', nowhere did the sentiment of people opposed to desegregation play out more dramatically than in [[Boston]]. In mid 1974, a federal judge found that 20 years after ''Brown v. Board'', Boston officials deliberately kept the schools segregated, and that the city must integrate at once. He drew up a busing plan. Black students from Roxbury would attend South Boston High School, while Irish Americans from Southie would board buses to Roxbury.
