Abstract

The essay explores an 1851 incident of violence among black Bostonians centering on conflicts about the merits of school desegregation. The episode reveals differing concepts of and approaches to citizenship in the African-American community, tensions that were exacerbated by abolitionist activity, Revolutionary memory, and the Fugitive Slave Law.
