• Commemoration of Crispus Attucks in Boston On October 17, 1976, the Boston Equal Rights League and the City of Boston held a significant ceremony honoring Crispus Attucks, widely recognized as an African American patriot and the first martyr of the American Revolution. The commemorative event featured a parade that proceeded from the Old Granary Burying Ground, where Attucks is buried alongside other Boston Massacre victims, to Faneuil Hall. Approximately 450 attendees heard powerful remarks from notable African American political figures, including Senator Edward W. Brooke (the first African American popularly elected to the U.S. Senate) and William Owens (Massachusetts' first African American state senator). Clarence 'Jeep' Jones, Boston's first African American Deputy Mayor, presided over the ceremony. A commemorative plaque dedicated by the Equal Rights League at the Old State House now resides in the Bostonian Society's collection, permanently memorializing Attucks' historical significance.
