1775: First U.S. abolition society founded in Philadelphia

Quote Of The Day
"Our fellow country men in chains! - slaves - in a land of light and law! Slaves - couching on the very plains where rolled the storm of freedom's war!"
(John Greenleaf Whittier)

By a strange coincidence, two days ago I finished teaching about Henry "Box" Brown, the slave who shipped himself to freedom in a crate delivered to Philadelphia. Henry's Freedom Box: A True Story From The Underground - a highly recommended children's book.
