Legacy
Crispus Attucks was an American whaler, sailor, and stevedore of African and Native American descent, who is traditionally regarded as the first person killed in the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770[1][2]. His death contributed to the growing tensions between the American colonies and Britain, eventually leading to the American Revolution[4]. Attucks’ legacy is celebrated through various institutions, including Crispus Attucks High School in Indianapolis, Indiana [3], and the Crispus Attucks monument in Boston Common, unveiled in 1888[2].
