@MrSilva It wasn’t because he sided with their cause, as history clearly shows. (Adams helped write the Declaration of Independence). It was because he felt everyone was owed a fair trial, according to David McCullough’s biography of Adams. He agonized about it. — 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

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

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser tweets the new look of 16th street, two blocks from the White House. Bold move. The new paint job runs right to the edge of Lafayette Square, where the police attack took place the other day. Beyond that lies the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

@OnTheClock1950s You’re right about the war. But there was no pandemic in 1968. — PolitiTweet.org

52 years ago today, I returned from the night shift at my summer job & watched in horror on live TV as Bobby Kennedy was murdered. I was deeply upset, especially since it came on the heels of Dr. King’s murder & the riots that followed. 1968 was terrible. 2020 may match it. https://t.co/79u28NfXhz — PolitiTweet.org
