Open and Roaming

...We are called open and roaming students. Location: Brooklyn, New York. 1970s. I was eight years old when my school bus was attacked...I remember there were about 10 to 15 boys that surrounded bus number 728. Glass flying everywhere. Ducking for safety hoping to find my brother there but with dismay couldn't be found.Things like “moulie,” “spear chucker,” and “niggers” were screamed in hatred. Then fire engulfed us. My name is Michelle. I didn't know i was a "token."
