Description

If 18th-century African-American patriot Crispus Attucks could tell you his story of life and rebellion in pre-Revolutionary Boston, what would he say? The acclaimed African-American Patriots Tour takes visitors through historic events of the American Revolution and the contributions of African-Americans who played a significant role in the country’s formation. Tales of intrigue and bravery, poetry and defiance by black Bostonians unfold during the 90-minute walking tour of the Freedom Trail. Led by costumed guides, visitors view history through the eyes of revolutionary figures like Attucks, Phyllis Wheatley, Prince Hall, Peter Salem and others. $13 for adults, $11 for seniors and students, and $7 for children under 12. Tickets may be purchased on-line at TheFreedomTrail.org or the Boston Common Visitor Information Center.
