Random Run In With A Friend Of A Friend! Lovely Annette was getting her nails done next to me in the salon when we struck up a conversation (What a concept for me). Besides telling me of her career as an emergency room nurse, when I mentioned my talk radio show she suggested her friend Arden would be a great guest. Arden Lewis was flying back to New Rochelle, NY from LA to with her Producer Tinks Lovelace to interview Annette and others for the documentary. “Without Incident” is a film of the children who lived the history behind the landmark desegregation case of Taylor vs. Board of Education of New Rochelle, New York – 1961. Part of the story includes a bunch of Girl Scout Moms of various races back then, including Ardens’, who brought together a multiracial girl scout troop. LISTEN LIVE 10:06am EST 1490 WGCH.
“Without Incident” explores the many incidents and struggles and steps towards integration by focusing on the lives of real humans that lived this pivotal part of history. This was the first case in the North, seven years after Brown vs. The Board of Education, where an entire elementary school had to be torn down to achieve a level playing field in education. It took three years after the ruling to put busing in place and then tear down the school.
In their own words, we will hear the stories of the High School Classes of 1976 and 1977 as they reflect on being part of a social experiment that began on their first days of kindergarten after state sponsored busing was instituted.
They have a Go Fund Me page I’ve posted here and are seeking to cover preproduction costs and travel: www.gofundme.com/withoutincident
