Attucks, Crispus (c. 1723-1770)

American revolutionary figure. Little is known of Attuck's origins, but he is believed to have been a freed or escaped slave, possibly from Framingham, Massachusetts. He was killed by British soldiers outside the Boston State House in what has become known as the ‘Boston Massacre’, and, as one of the first people to lose their lives for American Independence, has passed into US popular legend.
