The Don S. McClure Show Live- What Price Freedom. 

The growth of your culture in American. Hundreds gave their lives for the word Freedom, believing in a better tomorrow. Creating companies, pushed ideas, and lead the fight in values as a people. We start with  Crispus Attucks (c.1723—March 5, 1770)  the first death of the Boston massacre, In Boston, Massachusetts and is widely considered to be the first American casualty in the American Revolutionary War. His father was an African-born slave and his mother a native American.

He may have been a Slave of the Wampanoag Native American Tribe, sometimes called Massasoit or a Black Freeman or merchant seaman, or a dockworker of Wampanoag Massachusetts.  Attucks became an icon of the anti-slavery movement in the 18th century. Crispus had been influenced by followers of Roger Williams a prominent leader of the Baptist Faith in America, and founder of Rhode, Island. Crispus quickly accepted the ideas of Soul Freedom, Religious Freedom, and Separation of Church and State.

Arguing the soldiers fired in self-defense, John Adams successfully defended most of the accused British soldiers against a charge of murder. Two of the soldiers were found guilty of manslaughter. Faced with the prospect of hanging, the soldiers pleaded benefit of clergy and were instead branded on their thumbs.

Centuries later Massachusetts would be led by an African- American for the first time in its history as a state.

From 2007 to 2015, Deval Patrick became the first African American to hold the office as Governor as the 71st Governor of Massachusetts: Born July 31, 1956 from Chicago, Illinois. He is an American politician and civil rights lawyer.
