About
The Hancock-Clarke House in Lexington, Massachusetts is where John Hancock, Sam Adams, and sixteen others were awakened by Paul Revere in the early hours of April 19, 1775, and warned of the British advance.
In this episode, host Patrice Todisco and Lexington Historical Society Programs Manager Sarah McDonough explore historically how we know what we do about what happened there that night and reveal the equally fascinating other players in the story, including the enslaved people who lived here.
