Crispus Attucks Day

He is one of the most important figures in African-American history,
not for what he did for his own race but for what he did for all oppressed people everywhere.
He is a reminder that the African-American heritage is not only African but American
and it is a heritage that begins with the beginning of America.

March 5 is the anniversary of the death of Crispus Attucks,
the first person to die in the Boston Massacre
