Discovering Crispus
A Play in Process
Watch this lively conversation with Revolutionary Spaces Executive Vice President, Museum Experience Anne Freeh Engel, Plays in Place Producing Artistic Director Patrick Gabridge, Playwright Miranda Austen ADEkoje, and Director Pascale Florestal.
The play-in-process will explore how the memory of Attucks has inspired generations of activists to fight for social change. While the story takes shape, this special program allows the creators to share their progress and reveal themes that stand out most to them today.
Reflecting Attucks
Reflecting Attucks is a virtual exhibit that explores the memory of Crispus Attucks, a man of African and Native descent who was the first to die at the Boston Massacre, an act of protest widely viewed as a turning point on the road to American Revolution.
In this exhibit, we delve into Attucks’s world and look at how generations of Americans have seen their own reflection in the image of Attucks standing in the face of fierce opposition. By remembering him as a martyr, leader and courageous fighter, they fueled freedom movements that changed the course of history.
