Ben Franklin's World: A Podcast About Early American History
Before the American Revolution became a war and a fight for independence, the Revolution was a movement and protest for more local control of government. So how did the American Revolution get started? Who worked to transform a series of protests into a revolution? This is a BIG question with no one answer. But one American who worked to transform protests into a coordinated revolutionary movement was a Boston politician named Samuel Adams. Stacy Schiff, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, joins us to explore and investigate the life, deeds, and contributions of Samuel Adams using details from her book, The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams.

Alexis Murphy had a bright future ahead of her. She was the captain of her high school's volleyball team, a robust social media presence, and plans to go to college. But one day in August of 2013, she left home to buy hair extensions and never came back. Investigators tracked down surveillance footage of Alexis at a gas station in Lovingston, Virginia. The footage didn't reveal anything explicitly sinister, but it did reveal that a local creep had held the door open for her. Then Norm joined the podcast to give us an American history lesson! (Turns out, if they didn't sing about it in Hamilton, we don't know anything about it.) Norm gives us the story of the Boston Massacre. It went down on March 5, 1770 amidst growing tensions between colonists and British soldiers. Private Hugh White was the lone soldier guarding the Custom House. When colonists insulted him, Hugh fought back. Hugh wasn't outarmed, but he was outnumbered. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Norman pulled from: Famous-Trials.com - https://www.famous-trials.com/massacre “Boston's Massacre” by Eric Hinderaker https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674237384 In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “What happened to Alexis Murphy” True Crime Daily “Timeline: The Search for Alexis Murphy” NBC29 News “Alexis Murphy's Family Addresses Marijuana Allegations” NBC29 News “Randy Taylor Trial Day Two: Alexis Murphy's blood found, defense pushes human trafficking” by Lisa Provence, C-Ville.com “Day 4: Mystery man testifies in Randy Taylor trial” by Lisa Provence, C-Ville.com “Randy Allen Taylor trial Day 5: Taylor's fate in jury's hands” by Lisa Provence, C-Ville.com “Alexis Murphy Remains Discovered Seven Years After She Vanished” investigationdiscovery.com “Murder of Alexis Murphy” wikipedia.org YOU'RE STILL READING?

Samuel Gray, James Caldwell, Samuel Maverick, Patrick Carr, and Crispus Attucks. These are the five men who died as a result of the shootings on Boston’s King Street on the night of March 5, 1770. Of these five victims, evidence points to Crispus Attucks falling first, and of all the victims, Crispus Attucks is the name we can recall. Why is that? To help us answer this question and to conclude our 3-episode series on the Boston Massacre, we’re joined by Mitch Kachun, a Professor of History at Western Michigan University and the author of First Martyr of Liberty: Crispus Attucks in American Memory.

Ben Franklin's World: A Podcast About Early American History
Within days of the Boston Massacre, Bostonians politicized the event. They circulated a pamphlet about “the Horrid Massacre” and published images portraying soldiers firing into a well-assembled and peaceful crowd. But why did the Boston Massacre happen? Why did the British government feel it had little choice but to station as many 2,000 soldiers in Boston during peacetime? And what was going on within the larger British Empire that drove colonists to the point where they provoked armed soldiers to fire upon them? Patrick Griffin, the Madden-Hennebry Family Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame and author of The Townshend Moment: The Making of Empire and Revolution in the Eighteenth Century, joins us to answer these questions as we continue our 3-episode investigation of the Boston Massacre.

In The Past Lane - The Podcast About History and Why It Matters
This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, I speak with historian Mitch Kachun about his book, The First Martyr of Liberty: Crispus Attucks in American Memory. Attucks was the man of African American and Native American heritage who was among the five people killed in the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770. To this day, very little is known about Crispus Attucks. So Mitch Kachun’s book focuses, as the subtitle suggests, on the memory of Attucks and how it’s changed and evolved over nearly 250 years of history. In the course of our discussion, Mitch Kachun explains: Who Crispus Attucks was and what we know about why he was killed in the Boston Massacre. How for many decades after the Boston Massacre and American Revolution, Crispus Attucks was a forgotten figure in US history. That is, until African American abolitionists in the 1840s and 1850s began to celebrate Attucks as a patriot as a way to bolster their demand for an end to slavery and the inclusion of blacks as full citizens of the republic. How and why in the decades after the Civil War, as the freedoms won by African Americans were stripped away and replaced by Jim Crow white supremacy, black Americans clung to Crispus Attucks as a hero. As part of this process, they embellished his biography to make him appear every bit a patriot as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. How the US government used this image of Crispus Attucks the patriot as a way to recruit African Americans to fight in US wars. How African American historians worked to have Crispus Attucks included in US history textbooks, something that finally began to happen in the 1960s during the era of the civil rights movement. How some radical African American civil rights activists like Stokely Carmichael rejected Crispus Attucks as a model for black liberation. How the story of Crispus Attucks and his presence – along with many other people of color – at the Boston Massacre serves as a reminder that American society has been diverse from the very beginning.
