On May Day in 1919, Roxbury socialists marched in support of a textile workers' strike in Lawrence. The afternoon turned violent, with police firing shots to disperse the crowd. In the aftermath, two officers were killed and a mob formed that hunted down and viciously beat many of the marchers. As the smoke cleared, it became evident that one of the leaders of the march was a celebrity: William James Sidis, the boy wonder.
