...and CTAC's subsequent recirculation of NSC's whining and shilling for their "legal defense fund." Absolutely hilarious stuff!

BSAC, in comparison, only whines about Rundo's arrest, and not the lawsuit levied against Patriot Front by legal firm Foley Hoag in Massachusetts.

Study authors find the first wave of exclusionary zoning in the 20s & 30s focused on European immigrants and religious minorities.

The post-war suburban expansion is well-documented.

Later “The Big Downzone” from 1967-1975 followed school desegregation orders and civil rights advances in court.

NSC-131 is facing another civil rights lawsuit today in NH, adding to an existing one in MA, which has put them in a panic to raise legal funds. Their givesendgo has raised just $3700 out of the $100k they're seeking. Previous civil suits were dismissed, will be worth seeing how these play out.

I’m 43, went to school in central Massachusetts. We learned that the Civil War was because of slavery

But were also taught racism as a whole was a southern issue. The North freed the slaves and that was that. Come Civil Rights history there was no mention of the Boston Busing Crisis etc.
