Reflecting Attucks

A Virtual Exhibit

Reflecting Attucks is a virtual exhibit that examines the memory of Crispus Attucks, a man of African & Native descent who was the first to die in the Boston Massacre, an event now regarded as the start of the American Revolution.

This exhibit is no longer on display at the Old State House, but here you can explore all the content. This online exhibit also includes exclusive digital content that we couldn’t fit on the walls of the exhibit and online panels where we provided a space to reflect on what Attucks can mean for all of us today.
