Denounced as an act of unprovoked violence and villainy, this event is one of the most familiar incidents in American history, yet one of the least understood. The speaker will revisit this dramatic episode and the resulting trials, the competing narratives that molded public perceptions, and the unheralded courage of one lawyer and a future President – John Adams – tasked with the defense of the captain of British troops charged with murder. November marks the 255th year commemoration of this historic event – and event that launched the American Revolution. Register here.

Speaker: Hon. Dennis J. Curran, Justice, Mass. Superior Court (Ret.)

Thursday, November 13 at 7:00 p.m.
