A CAPACITY FOR LEADERSHIP

 protesting for equal pay and better working conditions. The women had trouble along the way but got successful when they coordinated "The Ten Hour Movement." The women's activism had a big influence on the later years of the girls working in the mills. The mill girls had displayed “leadership” by their organization and taking action to make a positive change in their lives and their community.

            The 1970’s bussing era is an example of how “leadership” can be enforced in a community. In the bussing era, Boston Public Schools were having problems with desegregation and busing black and white students. Not being used to each other caused both races to be skeptical of one another.  Students and parents were getting tired of not being treated fairly so they got together and made a stop to it. At the end, the black community had come together and got the court to let their children go to white schools in South Boston and white children go to black schools in Roxbury. The students demonstrated “leadership” by coming together and taking action in getting their school desegregated.
