520    This account recalls firsthand the upheaval surrounding 
       court-ordered busing in the early 1970s to achieve school 
       integration. Like many students at the vanguard of this 
       great social experiment, sixth-grader Clara Silverstein 
       was spit on, tripped, and shoved by her new schoolmates. 
       At other times she was shunned altogether. In the 
       conventional imagery of the civil rights era, some one in 
       Silverstein's situation would be black. She was white, 
       however - one of the few white students in her entire 
       school. At the predominantly black public schools she 
       attended in Richmond, Virginia, Silverstein dealt daily 
       with the unintended, unforeseen consequences of busing as 
       she also negotiated the typical passions and concerns of 
       young adulthood - all with little direction from her 
       elders, who seemed equally bewildered by the changes 
       around them. When Silverstein developed a crush on a black
       boy, when yet another of her white schoolmates switched to
       a private school, when she naively came to class wearing a
       jacket with a Confederate flag on it, she was mostly on 
       her own to contend with the fallout. Silverstein's father 
       had died when she was seven. Another complication: she was
       Jewish. As her black schoolmates viewed her through the 
       veil of race, Silverstein gazed back through her private 
       grief and awareness of religious difference. Inspired by 
       her parents' ideals, Silverstein remained in the public 
       schools despite the emotional stakes. Her story, woven 
       with historical details, confronts us with powerful 
       questions about race and the use of our schools to 
       engineer social change.
