What was Crispus Attucks famous quote?
Crispus Attucks is not known for any famous quote. He is insignificant in history. His only claim to fame is that he was a black guy killed during the Boston Massacre. He certainly didn’t say “don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” That statement was said by William Prescott at the Battle of Bunker Hill. He never “quoted a famous proverb” about walking softly and carrying a big stick because Teddy Roosevelt made that statement more than a hundred years after Attucks died.
