For a man that historians know very little about, Crispus Attucks gets a lot of attention. In this episode, instead of just rehashing the life of Crispus Attucks, we're going to follow his memory. Some remember him as a hero, others as a troublemaker, and some ignore him altogether, and these conflicting narratives of Attuck's place in American history tell us a lot about Black people's place (and hopes to carve a place) in the American story.
My guest is Professor Mitch Kachun, author of First Martyr of Liberty: Crispus Attucks in American Memory.
