About This Item
Garrison, William Lloyd. Article, removed. 1 page, front and verso. Influential Boston figure in the abolition and suffrage movement, whose fiery articles offered a voice for social change. A printed record a speech made by Garrison in Portland, Oregon on October 20, 1881 for the Woman Suffrage Association of Oregon. Upper right edge uneven, but no text affected. Here, Garrison argues that "by inheritance and belief that human rights and responsibilities are not limited by the accident of sex" and his hope that Washington Territory "before the Territory was ready to be admitted as a State, the constitution would provide for equal Suffrage and thereby avoid the agitation its omission was sure to entail. When we remember how difficult it is to eradicate a wrong once crystallized in organic law, and how absurdly binding bad precedents are, we cannot overrate the importance of a young State guarding, in the beginning, against such manifest injustice." Sentiment in favor of women's rights was strong within the radical wing of the abolitionist movement. William Lloyd Garrison, the leader of the American Anti-Slavery Society, had said "I doubt whether a more important movement has been launched touching the destiny of the race, than this in regard to the equality of the sexes
