Watch at your leisure from February 27th – March 3rd and join the Zoom discussion on March 4th at 7:00 pm to mark 251 years since the death of Crispus Attucks on March 5th, 1770. Crispus Attucks was the first person killed in the Boston Massacre and thus the first American killed in the American Revolution.

The Crispus Attucks Community Center, a program of the Community Action Partnership, strives to improve the quality of life for youth and families in Lancaster by providing services that promote community prosperity, physical and mental health; and by offering programs and cultural events which preserve the African American heritage. Crispus Attucks sponsors community-wide cultural events, including Lancaster’s Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast, Black History Month events, and the Juneteenth Celebration. The Center is also home base for the African American Veterans Project and the African American Historical Society.
