Crispus Attucks (c. 1723 - March 5, 1770) was one of five people killed in the Boston Massacre.

He has been frequently named as the first martyr and is the only Boston Massacre victim whose name is commonly remembered. He is regarded as an important inspirational figure in American history.

Referred to as a "mulatto" denotes a person with one white parent and one black parent or a person who has both black ancestry and white ancestry.

He was also referred to as an "Indian" because he had Wampanoag ancestors. Attucks in all likelihood had both Wampanoag and African ancestry. Because slavery and racial discrimination were conditions of life in the 18th century.
