i live around the block fromm 211, and was going to 242 at the time when the boycott ocurred, my father took me to his job at the docks so i wouldnt be in any danger, and i remember my cousin beating someone up who was not from the neighborhood, who was inciting riots.i ws about 8 at the time. i remember the crowds were really big and people throwing rocks and bottles, it was kinda scary.

i went to 211 the year of the riots, it was my eight grade year and i remember standing around the corner from the official entrance to the school with my dad and sister and there were 100s if not 1000s of people there, screaming. i was so happy because we had something like 10 weeks of school off.
