The River of Pearls Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held a Boston Tea Party at the Mississippi Agriculture Museum in Jackson last weekend.
“When you see the performance, you’ll see how people felt at the time, to bring history back alive, because to read it in a book, that doesn’t necessarily do it justice,” said Ricky McNamara, who is among the re-enactors for the Tea Party events.
Men in tricorn hats and women in long dresses filled Downtown Crossing. Redcoats were jeered in Post Office Square. And, everywhere, the sound of fifes-and-drums wafted through the city. Shouts of “Huzzah!” and “Dump It!” echoed as reenactors of the Sons of Liberty dumped tea from all over the world into Boston Harbor on Saturday night.
