Antibusing demonstration leads to violence on City Hall Plaza.

African-American lawyer Ted Landsmark is set upon and beaten by a group of white youths leaving City Hall after the rally. A portion of the incident is captured by a front-page photo in the Boston Herald the next day.* At a subsequent press conference, despite being left bruised and bloody, Landsmark refuses to place all the blame on his attackers, but points to “Community leaders who manipulate and use the community for their own selfish gains.”
