His name may not ring a bell today - but his very name was the battle-cry of our soldiers in our Great War of independence. At the time of Crispus Attucks' death, there were 14 thousand people living in Boston, eleven thousand of them marched in his wake. Paul revere, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and Thomas Paine, carried Crispis' coffin on their shoulders four miles during his wake. Crispus Attucks, America's only Martyr, was not only African American, but a fugitive slave, who died for a country that wouldn't outlaw slavery for another hundred years. Written by
