As a filmmaker, Roberto Mighty is particularly interested in cemeteries and the dead.
That’s part of why he hosts “World’s Greatest Cemeteries,” a PBS show highlighting historical gems hidden in some of the world’s most famous cemeteries.
While filming an episode at the Granary Burying Ground, a historical monument near Boston Common, in September 2022, Mighty overheard a group of tourists talking in length about Paul Revere and John Hancock, two historic figures buried there. But the tourists only briefly mentioned Crispus Attucks, a Black and Indigenous man who was the first person killed in the Boston Massacre.
