Biden-Harris Clash Renews Controversy Over US School Busing

VOA News

   The first Democratic presidential debate for the 2020 elections brought
   a decades-old civil rights issue back into the public spotlight:
   whether to bus children to racially integrate schools.

   One of the most defining moments of the debate came when U.S. Senator
   Kamala Harris challenged former Vice President Joe Biden's record for
   not supporting the type of busing that she experienced as a black
   schoolgirl in California.

   The exchange garnered headlines and brought the topic of busing, which
   had been a national issue in the 1970s but had largely fallen out of
   the public conversation, back into the spotlight.
