| Summary | "Charles Sumner Centenary: Historical Address by Archibald Henry Grimké" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This commemorative work celebrates the life and legacy of Charles Sumner, a prominent anti-slavery politician and orator from Massachusetts, who played a significant role in the abolitionist movement. The address highlights his contributions to American society and politics, particularly during the tumultuous era leading up to the Civil War. In the address, Archibald Henry Grimké reflects on Sumner’s journey as a senator, emphasizing his steadfast commitment to justice and equality. Sumner is portrayed as a righteous figure who stood against the prevailing injustices of slavery, enduring personal attacks and violence, most notably an assault by Preston Brooks. Grimké recounts Sumner's evolution as a political leader who, despite his challenges, fervently advocated for the rights of all people and maintained an unwavering moral compass. The address serves not only as a tribute to Sumner's life but also as a call to action for future generations to uphold the values of freedom and equality that he championed.
