Benjamin Lundy, Pioneer Quaker Abolitionist


One hundred years after his death, the Centennial Memorial Committee gathered at the gravesite and dedicated a bronze plaque to the pioneer abolitionist. The tribute, from Whittier, reads, "It was his lot to struggle, for years almost alone, a solitary voice crying in the wilderness, and, amidst all, faithful to his one great purpose, the emancipation of the slaves."
