Daily Bread for Whitewater, Wisconsin: 3-5-10

Good morning,

Today’s forecast calls for patchy fog, later becoming sunny, and a high of forty-three degrees. That’s a forecast, I’d guess, for today’s weather and Whitewater’s future.

On this day in 1770, the Boston Massacre took place, during which British soldiers killed five colonists. Massachusetts attorney John Adams successfully defending the soldiers, leading to their acquittal.

There’s a website from an historical society, the Boston Massacre Historical Society, dedicated to preserving information about the massacre.

They have videos about the event, including historical re-enactments (where the results, of course and fortunately, fall short of the original).

Here’s one:

I find their dedication to history — to remembering the past truthfully — admirable.
