“Never to Cease Our Resistance to Tyranny”: The Roots of Human Rights in Early Ohio
Online event
Ohio History Connection
The Civil Rights movement can remind us of the 1960s, but there have always been Buckeyes who have worked for the liberty and equality of all. Before the Civil War, when the nation was fractured by bitter partisan politics, Ohio natives of many backgrounds worked to bring back the best ideals of the American Revolution. Inspired by the 1787 Ordinance, which had once offered so much hope for freedom and equality in the Ohio Territory, Buckeyes were able to overturn unjust legislations that had stolen those promised rights. Working together they expanded citizenship rights at a time when many states were turning away from the old ideals of our nation’s founding. Dr. Anna-Lisa Cox will speak on this little-known movement and how it can inspire us today.
