In 1995, the then-members of Crispus Attucks conspired to represent themselves within the auspices of the hardcore/punk community. Taking their name from the felled protester and inspired by a multitude of artists within the hardcore/punk domain, the past and current members of the group now known as Crispus Attucks, have let themsleves, their words, and their music be known to the masses.

Objectives: The aims of this unit are many, but one issue is to remain clear: that this collective stay productive and true to itself and to the ethics of the community and ideologies it seeks to be a part of representing. C.A. wish to encourage socio-political awareness, appreciation of the many genres within the hardcore/punk community and beyond, community activism, and knowledge and understanding of the past to be actively participant in the present and future. C.A. believe that the individual must constantly revise his or her perceptions on truth and trust in an increasingly questionable world that we inhabit; nothing is to be taken for granted.
