History At Play, LLC Presents A Livestream Event CRISPUS ATTUCKS: REVOLUTIONARY RECOLLECTIONS OF A POOR MAN IN BOSTON

History At PlayTM, LLC has garnered international applause for their Immersive Living History Experiences, chronicling the lives of influential and often forgotten figures.

On Friday February 26, 2021, at 7:30 PM ET (GMT-5), travel to Colonial Boston with Crispus Attucks, an enslaved man of mixed race (African-Indigenous), who escapes bondage and migrates to the busiest port town in America. In Revolutionary Recollections, we experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the elder Attucks, at an age he never would reach.

Guided by an incomparable wisdom and enduring spirit, Attucks recollects upon the lives of the working poor and recalls the Bloody Massacre on King Street on March 5, 1770 (The Boston Massacre).

In this livestream episodic series, Pay-Per-HAP invites audiences to explore the mind of an escaped laborer and mariner of late 18th-Century Boston. Living Historian Jon F. Rice embodies the vigor of Crispus Attucks, one of some 3,000 mariners living in Boston; a seaside town of approximately 15,000 inhabitants. As with his fellow townsmen, Attucks did not enjoy enfranchisement; granted to white, male, property owners, and was subjugated by the laws that governed his life.

Jon F. Rice is a Chicago-based professional historian, researcher, and tri-racial interpreter. He obtained a PhD in American History from Northern Illinois University and has performed for the Chicago Historical Society; in Boston, as an interpreter for the Freedom Trail Foundation; and as a Wampanoag elder at the Wampanoag Homesite, at Plimoth Patuxet (formerly Plimoth Plantation). Rice, who descends from the Choctaw Heritage, delves into the lives and eras of his portrayals to create dialogues that encompass the time in which they lived.
