Today’s police killings of blacks make me think of one of the first people killed in the American Revolution. He was Crispus Attucks, a black man and one of three men shot and killed in 1770 by British troops in Boston because he was part of a crowd throwing snowballs and stones. https://t.co/Nuxr0S3p24 — PolitiTweet.org

@MrSilva Yes, the rebels much later sensationalized the details to whip up support. But that doesn’t change the fact that it really happened and that Crispus Attucks was a real person who was killed in a gross overreaction by British troops. There was a trial & some guilty verdicts. — PolitiTweet.org
