In a Boston Massacre context letter the author argues the 1770 killings were self defense and questions honoring victims with monuments. He cites the trial records, jurors, and counsel including John Adams, noting the not guilty verdicts for six defendants and manslaughter for two. The piece opposes racial memorials for Crispus Attucks and the Irish victim Patrick Carr, urging respect for historical truth over monuments.
