The top of a page 5 column is headed: "LINCOLN'S STATUE" "The Unveiling At Lincoln Square Yesterday--Culmination Of a Work Initiated By a Colored Woman--Ceremonies of the Occasion--Address of Fred. Douglass".
This was the unveiling of the Emancipation Statue built by the funds contributed by African-Americans. It includes the speech given by Frederick Douglass which begins: "Lincoln's great mission was to accomplish two things--first, to save his country from dismemberment, and second, to free his country from the great crime of slavery...".
Complete in ten pages, the first leaf stuck to the second at the spine margin, very nice condition.
