	Boston.com / News / Local / Mass. / Louise Day Hicks, icon of tumult, dies
		Hicks to three terms each on the School Committee and City Council and one in Congress, she was the one political leader who understood the deepest beliefs -- and fears -- of working- and middle-class white Bostonians.
		Hicks might be seen in certain respects as a feminist ideal: She was a wife, mother, lawyer and an elected official.
		Hicks established a law firm, Hicks and Day, with her brother, and in 1961 ran for the School Committee.

		Louise Day Hicks, on the other hand, ran her typical low-keyed campaign with the slogan "You know where I stand." This refers to her position in the early 1960s while she was chairman of the Boston School Committee and opposed busing school children to achieve integration.
		John Day, her campaign manager and brother, said that the Hicks campaign spent less than $50,000 on the preliminary and was run by 1400 volunteers.
		Hicks had received extensive news coverage in the two weeks before the elections as she sided with parents who were refusing to let their children be bussed to the Joseph Lee Elementary School in Dorchester to satisfy the federal law for school integration.

		Hicks says that the city should try the curfew to test its effectiveness; that she voted for it to show solidarity with the senior citizens and fire fighters.
		Hicks says that the curfew does not place undue burden on minors, who can move about with a note from their parents; that the curfew can be rescinded if it proves to be unworkable.
		Hicks says that the law could be used to bolster parental authority; that she hopes most parents have authority over their children even without the curfew.

	Guardian \| Louise Day Hicks
		The maelstrom of American racial politics made Louise Day Hicks into a symbol of racial bigotry in a city torn apart by it, but the lawyer and feminist, who has died aged 87, also took progressive positions.
		By refusing to admit segregation existed in city schools, and by declaring that children were the "pawns" of racial politics, she symbolised the fears and hatred of Boston's white working class.
		Hicks was recognised as the holdout, and within months was Boston's most popular politician.

		Hicks has even gone to the extreme of requesting that there be a debate about the debate with newspaper and television reporters as witnesses.
		Hicks in the debate could sway a majority of these votes but this seems highly unlikely, as well as relatively unimportant considering White's impressive lead.
		Her manager and brother, John Day, says, "Louise is our strongest asset"; and the campaign relies heavily on Louise Day Hicks' image as a Bostonian among Bostonians.

	Letters to the editor
		Racist Boston politician Louise Day Hicks died October 21 at age 87.
		But the violence that ROAR inflicted on children in integrated schools--and more importantly, the support that it got from numerous establishment figures, from Hicks to then-president Gerald Ford--was an important obstacle to the fight against racism, right at the point when the radicalization of the 1960s and ’70s was starting to decline.
		Louise Day Hicks was a disgusting bigot whose "courage" lay in her willingness to use her political power to sabotage racial justice.

		Hicks obstructed school desegregation and busing efforts during the 1960s and 70s by appealing to the ethnic neighborhood loyalties and local autonomous political sympathies of many Boston residents.
		Both Mather and Hicks shrouded their arguments within the mantle of either religious or democratic rhetoric.

		Hicks, a former school committeewoman, city councilor, and US representative who made two unsuccessful mayoral bids, represented the ugliest political face of 1970s race politics.
		She was known for the catch phrase "You know where I stand" — a not-too-coded reference to the desire to keep Boston’s public schools segregated.
		As a School Committee member, she routinely approved budgets that shortchanged predominantly minority districts — a policy that led directly to court-imposed busing to end inequities in the city’s schools.
