Today in History: six white police officers shot and killed an unarmed 25-year-old Black military veteran named Roland T. Price outside of a bar in my home town: Rochester, New York. The shooting was deemed “justified” even though evidence showed that Mr. Price did not resist the officers’ demands.
Mr. Price was the recipient of the Purple Heart medal, which he was wearing when he entered the bar in his military uniform that evening in 1947.
