The arrival of the tea escalated an already existing debate over the new tea tax. And the sons of liberty led an effort to protest the kings new measure. After the debate, colonists marched to griffins wharf and dumped the tea in the boston harbor. Last year on the anniversary of this debate, reenactors and observers recreated the scene. This 45 minute event was hosted by Old South Meeting House and the Boston Tea Party museum. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the 242nd anniversary celebration of the Boston Tea Party. Good evening.

Now as an old man i am paraded around in my colonial clothing as the last survivor participant in the boston tea party. How strange it is to think of what i have seen here in boston, how i witnessed a nation born of protest. I was no student of history or politics myself. My entire education consisted of a modest understanding of reading and writing.

I was continually reflecting upon the unwarrantable sufferings inflicted upon the citizens of boston, by the tyranny of Great Britain and my mind was excited by an indistinguishable desire to aid in chastising the king. I sat in this very hall after the bloody massacre in march of 1770 and again for the meetings of the body of the people in 1773 when we decided the fate of that tea. I came into this building a shoe maker. I left a true citizen. Tond friends i ask you to indulge my memory and join me
