In St. Louis, white adults threw glass bottles at black students and their buses when desegration happened in late 70s/early 80s.

Whites in Granite City, Illinois (historically a sundown town) burned down a school building (in their neighborhood) when a black business owner bought it for his offices.

Whites in East St. Louis frequently burned down their houses, rather than sell them when desegration happened.
