Acerca de esta escucha
In this episode of the 'Stories to be tolled' blog series, as the 47th US Presidential inauguration approaches Tracy DW reflects on the life of Crispus Attucks, a man shrouded in mystery yet immortalised as a symbol of the anti-slavery movement and the complex roles Africans played in the American Revolution, navigating the paradoxical heroism and war crimes they faced.
By questioning how Africans, who fought bravely, were denied the status of heroes in a society that refused to acknowledge their equality, Tracy brings the discussion about the ‘hero complex’ into a modern day context. Here, she highlights the challenges and resistance faced by the descendants of these heroes and heroines to establish a monument to commemorate their ancestors’ contributions to the shaping of modern America.
