	Description:		Patriot? Martyr? Criminal? Inconsequential historical figure? These are the many opinions of Crispus Attucks. Little is known about his overall life. It is thought that he escaped slavery in 1750 and then, twenty years later, placed himself at the front of a crowd protesting against British soldiers on King Street in Boston. Attucks was shot and killed, along with four other civilians, on March 5, 1770, in an event that will forever be know as the Boston Massacre.For a full list of sources and show notes, please visithttps://www.thehumanityarchive.com/podcast/crispus-attucks Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thehumanityarchive)
