Crispus Attucks was an American stevedore of African and Native American descent regarded as the first person killed in the Boston Massacre and thus the first American killed in the American Revolution. Historians disagree on whether he was a free man or an escaped slave, but most agree that he was of Natick and African descent. Two major sources of eyewitness testimony about the Boston Massacre published in 1770 did not refer to him as "black" nor as a "Negro". According to a contemporaneous account in the Pennsylvania Gazette, he was a "Mulattoe man, named Crispus Attucks, born in Framingham, but belonged to New-Providence, was here in order to go for North Carolina."Attucks became an icon of the anti-slavery movement in the mid-19th century. Supporters of the abolition movement lauded him for playing a heroic role in the history of the United States. Attucks was born in Massachusetts. Town histories of Framingham written in 1847 and 1887 describe him as a slave of Deacon William Brown, though it is unclear whether Brown was his original owner.

In 1750 Brown advertised for the return of a runaway slave named Crispas. In the advertisement, Brown describes his clothing when he was last seen, he said that a reward of 10 pounds would be given to whoever found and returned Attucks to him. Attucks's status at the time of the massacre as a free person or a runaway slave has been a matter of debate for historians. Attucks did become a sailor and whaler at some point and he spent much of his life at sea or working around the docks along the Atlantic seaboard. In an 1874 article in The American Historical Record, Jebe B. Fisher recounts a passage in the memoirs of Boston Tea Party participant George R. T. Hewees, which stated that at the time of the massacre Attucks "was a Nantucket Indian, belonging on board a whale ship of Mr. Folgers in the harbor, he remembers a distinct war whoop which he yelled... the mob whistling and rending like an Indian yell." Many historians believe Attucks went by the alias Michael Johnson in order to avoid being caught after his escape from slavery.

He may only have been temporarily in Boston in early 1770, having returned from a voyage to the Bahamas. He was due to leave shortly afterwards on a ship for North Carolina. Though he is described as an African American in popular culture, two major sources of eyewitness testimony about the Massacre, both published in 1770, did not refer to Attucks as "black" nor as a "Negro," but rather as a mulatto and an Indian. In an account from the Pennsylvania Gazette, a man who may have been Attucks was referred to as a "Mulattoe man, named Crispas, born in Framingham, but belonged to New-Providence, was here in order to go for North Carolina..." However, during Attucks's time mulatto was used to describe skin tone rather than ethnicity, sometimes referred to full-blooded Native Americans. In Potter's American Monthly, the interchangeability of the two terms is demonstrated by court transcripts from the Attucks trial: "Question: Did you see a mulatto among the persons who surrounded the soldiers? Answer: I did not observe...

Question: Did they seem to be sailors or townsmen? Answer: They were dressed some of them in the habits of sailors. Question: Did you know the Indian, killed? Answer: No. Question: Did you see any of them press on the soldiers with a cordwood stick? Answer: No." Historians differ in opinion on Attucks's heritage: some assert his family had intermarried with African slaves, while others maintain he had no African heritage. It is acknowledged that Attucks had considerable Native American heritage. Biographer Mitch Kachun, as well as multiple 19th century Framingham town histories, have drawn a connection between Attucks and John Attuck of Framingham, a Narragansett man, hanged in Framingham in 1676 during King Philip's War; the word for "deer" in the Narragansett language is "Attuck." Kachun noted a possible connection to a probable Natick woman and possible Attucks mother or relative named Nanny Peterattucks, described as a'negro woman' in the 1747 estate inventory of Framingham slaveholder Joseph Buckminster and, along with Jacob Peterattucks, as'probable descendant of John Attuck, the Indian' in an 1847 history of Framingham.

Other sources refer to their surname as Peter Attucks. In a 1747 history of the Hoosac Valley, a British colonial soldier named Moses Peter Attucks, living in nearby Leicester, is described as'negro slave of John White. Historian William C. Nell reported an 1860 letter from a Natick resident printed in an 1860 edition of The Liberator newspaper that read, several persons are now living in Natick who remember the Attucks family, viz. Cris, killed March 5th; the letter continues, "his sister used to say that if they had not killed Cris, Cris would have killed them." Prince Yonger has been posited as the father of Attucks. However, Yonger
