Very prominent position in terms of her true feeling about human justice and equality. There was an interesting situation than i was talking earlier about this where lucy was invited to speak and if i can get this name right, invited to speak at the Musical Fund Hall in philadelphia in early 1854. This was all arranged by james mott lucretius husband so lucy came to speak and i worse before she was to speak she suddenly learned africanamericans would not be allowed and she earlier that afternoon distributed tickets to the Africanamerican Community wanting them there are. Some of them showed up expecting to hear her and they were barred from attending the hall. Actually it was Frederick Douglass who got upset with lucy because she went ahead with their speech and gave it to those who were in attendance but at the end of her speech she said never again will a speak at this hall or any hall that will not allow africanamericans. Mustve been appalled by the carnage clicks it is amazing how little i found on her years during the civil war. War. You have for everything and of course i wanted to find more material. Theres a moment when i did not have much information. Not that involved in terms of thinking about it. For instance henry, the 300 in 300 in order to find a substitute for him. She very much supported that. She hated war and hated the war. During the war very consumed with taking care of henrys mother. Mother. One of the sisters was built. She was pretty much consumed with that. Amazing. Why is the more on the years. I think family issues in the carnival it kind of overwhelmed her. Anymore . Yes . Less question. Im struck. Click risha get so much attention but spoke extemporaneously. She had her discourses on women in 1850 some letters 1850, some letters, but very little written of what lucretia actually said. But Lucretia Mott is a star in history. Lucy stone, although i am clear with her history, but to other surnames lost. Youre. Youre wondering why. A comment rather than a question quakes also if you look in the history of woman suffrage Lucretia Mott plays large role. She remained friends with stand and anthony. Two of the five women who started the seneca falls convention. Lucretia was an amazingly fairminded woman. She was also friends with lucy, but i think that longstanding time with stanton kept her in the limelight and she is very much a part of those volumes on talking about. But you know, lucy also was responsible for mission. She mission. She did not want to contribute, but i think she had reasons why she is not in those volumes. It is amazing how much historians have depended on those volumes to write about 19th century limits movement. So i hope to my hope she will get back front and center in nations history. Thank nations history. Thank you for being a great audience. [applauding] quakes thank you so much professor. That was a wonderful talk.
