"In a time of division, we can have no better prophetic voice to
frame today's discussions of justice and freedom than a one-legged
fugitive slave who came to a Capitol without a Dome to tell how the
Constitution could be made more perfect, in the name of God." -from
a letter sent by the President of the Presbyterian Historical
Society to the President of the Maryland State Senate In February
1865, just days after the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment
banning slavery, Presbyterian pastor and abolitionist Henry
Highland Garnet spoke before the U.S. Congress, becoming the first
African American to do so. Garnet's speech, titled "Let the Monster
Perish," celebrated the end of slavery and pleaded with humanity to
never let it rise again. Garnet's address would later set the tone
for Congressional Reconstruction, providing the important and
necessary perspective from those whose voices had been excluded
from American democracy. His address is reproduced here along with
a time line of his life.
