Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Celebration of the One Hundreth Anniversary of the Birth of William Lloyd Garrison The Suffrage League of Boston and Vicinity, under whose auspices a two days citizens celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, the abolitionist, was held in Boston. Dec. 10th and 11th. 1905. Voted at a meeting held at 3 Tremont Row. Room 19. Dec. 22nd. 1905. to authorize the publication in book form of a record of this citizens´ celebration with an abridged account of those church celebrations held Dec. 10th. 1905. in Boston and vicinity, in response to the League´s appeal to clergymen. In pursuance of that vote the Garrison Centenary Committee of the League have published this book. In its preparation and publication they have had the active support of the Citizens´ Committee of Arrangements of the celebration, and the assistance of those who took part in the program, of invited guests, and of many other citizens. The Committee are especially indebted to Miss Ethel G. Lewis, who volunteered her services as stenographer and attended nearly all of the sessions of the central celebration. Through her services, and the kindness of speakers who furnished manuscript, the Committee are able to present the main portion of every speech delivered, save one the author of which preferred its omission. They are indebted to Mr. Francis J. Garrison, also, for use of several cuts. The value of this volume consists, not in its literary form - for it is but a plain narrative of events - but rather in its accurate historical record of a remarkable tribute to the memory of one of the world´s greatest moral heroes by the citizens of the city where he worked, suffered and triumphed, a generation after his death. Its further value consists in the recorded utterances of men and women of strong intellect and of earnest purpose, some of whom knew Mr. Garrison as an intimate friend or relative, utterances which, taken together, constitute a notable contribution to the literature of agitation for human liberty and equal rights. That this book may increase veneration for the great antislavery agitator, lead men and women to emulate his example, and help the anti-salvery cause of today, and of the future, is the prayer of its publishers.
