Phase One and Two

Boston Massacre

Fact: "Private White called out to Garrick that he should be more respectful of the officer, and the two men exchanged insults. Garrick then started poking Goldfinch in the chest with his finger; White left his post, challenged the boy, and struck him on the side of the head with his musket. Garrick cried out in pain, and his companion Bartholomew Broaders began to argue with White which attracted a larger crowd."

Quote: "The tensions started again in the late afternoon of March 5, 1770. A group of Bostonians, including some radicals, were heading home with Private Hugh White, on sentry duty outside the Custom House (now the Old State House).During this time, Edward Garrick (or Gerrish), an apprentice to a wigmaker, spotted Captain-Lieutenant John Goldfinch and called out, “There goes the fellow that won’t pay my master for dressing his hair.” Goldfinch had actually paid the bill from Garrick’s master, but this did not stop Garrick from continuing with his abuse. Garrick then taunted Private White, who left his sentry box and put Garrick with his (White’s) musket. It did not take long for a crowd to form, and they all started taunting White."

PSTCC Library, From Forgotten Founder to Indispensable Icon: Crispus Attucks, Black Citizenship, and Collective Memory, 1770–1865 - Pellissippi State Community College (exlibrisgroup.com) This book supports the diversity factor of African Americans during the time in which the Boston Massacre takes place and the impact and result of the shooting of Crispus Attucks. This book covers the minimal information known about Attucks and the religious community he was born and grew up in. The varying celebrations, monuments, and acknowledgements throughout history are also covered in this book. This book provides great information that supports the lacking information with African American history and its association with the Boston Massacre.
