The introduction outlines Crispus Attucks’s story and the book’s approach, using the concepts of history and memory to explore how Attucks has been remembered and forgotten, lionized and vilified, from the eighteenth through the twenty-first centuries, including a brief description of each chapter. Key themes introduced include the role of Attucks and other black heroes in the centuries-long debate over African American citizenship, patriotism, and inclusion; the meanings both black and white Americans have attached to Attucks’s name, image, and story; different conceptions of who belongs in the nation’s history and who does not; and the process through which national heroes and myths are constructed.
