"Crispus Attucks and the Boston Massacre" by Lynne Weiss explores the pivotal events leading up to the Boston Massacre and the role of Crispus Attucks, a man of African and Native American descent. The book recounts the tense atmosphere in colonial Boston, where growing unrest between colonists and British soldiers culminated in violence on March 5, 1770. Attucks, often regarded as the first martyr of the American Revolution, becomes a symbol of resistance against oppression. Through vivid storytelling, the narrative highlights themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and the fight for justice, shedding light on a crucial moment that ignited revolutionary fervor in America.
