This document compares different accounts of the Boston Massacre from textbooks, Wikipedia, and primary sources to trace how our understanding of Crispus Attucks has changed over time. It notes that the initial 2002 Wikipedia article and textbooks singled out Attucks as the first casualty. However, Paul Revere's engraving of the event actually listed several casualties without singling out Attucks. The document examines why Attucks has become the primary focus in retellings of the Boston Massacre rather than the other casualties.
