The #Marines—who have a reputation for lethality—were deployed only twice during this period: once during the 1967 #protest at the #Pentagon, where they appear to have played a minor role, & again amid the violent unrest in Washington, DC, following #MLK’s #assassination. President John F. Kennedy considered sending them to help #desegregate the University of #Mississippi in 1962 but ultimately declined.

Looks like it's working to better house tenants (many vouchers were going unused before) and help #desegregate #GreaterBoston
