A Boston Massacre Town Meeting
Two hundred and fifty-five years ago, on March 5, 1770, British soldiers opened fire on a crowd at King Street in Boston. Three men lay dead and many more were wounded. Was it a plot to commit murder or self-defense? Should the people of Boston extract vengeance against the soldiers or call for law and order above all else?
Have your voice heard in a Town Meeting debate and help decide: vengeance or justice?
