#Abolitionist Senator #CharlesSumner gave a powerful speech on #ThisDayInHistory in 1856, insisting that #Kansas should be admitted to the Union as a free state and arguing that #slavery be abolished. Two days later he was nearly killed on the Senate floor by a #SouthernDemocrat.

@charlessumner-rino.bsky.social—Would the Senator from Massachusetts dazzle us with your many years spent studying & retaining a most impressive wealth of knowledge abt the Wilbury’s School of Thought? Thank you, Sir, ever so kindly.

Why I do declare I missed a parlor visit by the esteemed Senator from Massachusetts himself @charlessumner-rino.bsky.social !
Now, what a shame that is, indeed, I must say! 🤣🤣

The first #SchoolDesegregation lawsuit was filed all the way back in 1848 by #BenjaminRoberts (represented by #CharlesSumner) on #ThisDayInHistory. Ultimately unsuccessful, the #SarahRoberts case in #Boston did lead to an 1855 law that #desegregated schools across Massachusetts.

It is unprecedented.

Let's give her a gutta percha cane and see how Johnson feels about Congressional precedent?
