Parents and students who oppose the planned cross-town busing plan protest outside Soldan High School, 918 Union Boulevard, on Aug. 17, 1980. Soldan's student body the previous spring had been 99 percent black. Cleveland High School, at 4352 Louisiana Avenue, had been 96 percent white. The busing plan would send white students from Cleveland to Soldan, and blacks from Soldan and Vashon High School to Cleveland, for an intended enrollment at Cleveland that would be 57 percent white. Cleveland, later made into the junior navy ROTC academy, closed in 2006. (J.B. Forbes/Post-Dispatch)
