After six years of combating racial and class tension and street violence, the Divers leave the city for suburban Newton. The Divers are in favor of busing, but the effects hit home when they learn that it may result in their own son being bused to a foreign neighborhood. Colin Diver, a Harvard Law School graduate and assistant to Mayor Kevin White, and his wife Joan Diver, director of The Hyams Foundation, move into the gentrifying South End, a block from one of the Twymon sisters, who lives with her children in the shoddily constructed Methunion Manor housing project. The Twymons have long endured sub-standard education and are hoping that busing will finally change this. The McGoffs are proud residents of Charlestown who see an attempt to change the dynamics of their school as an assault on their families. Each family is directly involved in the busing crisis.
