When I think of black militants in the 1960s, I think Black Panthers. Imagine my surprise at how the Boston police characterized this group.
Boston, Mass. (1968)
11/13/1968: Three men forced their way into the offices of a
black civil rights group, described by police as “a responsible militant,” yelling,
“Where’s the money?” and shot to death the blind director and two other
officials. They also wounded two others. It does not appear that there was any
money.
Category: public
Suicide: no
Cause: robbery
Weapon: firearm[1]
And yes, militants. They had a group with walkie-talkies acting as buffer between blacks and police.
