On April 5, 1968 Boston residents were told to stay home (sound familiar?) and watch (the now famous) James Brown at the Boston Garden concert on Channel 2 (WGBH). This broadcast was credited with preventing riots in Boston that were happening in other cities as a result of the assassination of Martin Luther King. The broadcast was fraught with technical difficulties as WGBH crew scrambled at the last minute to make it happen. | GBH Archives
