Many people do not know that the first man killed in an act of defiance during the revolutionary war was African American.

Crispus Attucks was the first of five people killed in the Boston Massacre in Boston, Massachusetts. He has been frequently named as the first martyrof the American Revolution and is the only Boston Massacre victim whose name is commonly remembered. He is regarded as an important inspirational figure in American history.

The documentary below, “No Guns for Negroes ” exposes the racist history of American gun control laws.
