Originally founded as Liberty DC Tours in 2009, Attucks Adams continues to provide a quality touring experience to visitors of Washington, DC. I changed the name to Attucks Adams in 2015. So, what does it mean?

Crispus Attucks was the first person killed in the Boston Massacre and widely considered to be the first casualty in the American Revolutionary War. "The first to defy, and the first to die," Attucks symbolized the beginning of a conflict that would transform the British colonial territory into the United States of America. Some of Attucks' personal history and background are lost to history, but he was a person of color and his death at the hands of the British presaged the complex and important role Black folks played in the Revolution and every aspect of American life since.

John Adams served as the first Vice President of the United States and the second President of the United States. He was the first President to occupy the newly finished White House. With the Supreme Court, Congress, and the President all operating in the District of Columbia as of 1801, Adams' tenure marked the first time that Washington was fully realized as the capital city and the home to all three branches of American government. Although he served as President, John Adams is also known as the lawyer for a British Captain Preston -- charged with murder of Crispus Attucks and others at the Boston Massacre. Under Adams' representation, Preston was acquitted.
