Good-bye Horace Seldon

A formal celebration of Horace Seldon’s life was held on October 21st, 2017 at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, 138 Tremont St., Boston.


In order to coordinate with an event so very dear to Dad’s heart, the Celebration service was held in connection with The Women’s March of Courage.

The significance of October 21, 1835

Following the near lynching of Garrison, despite threat to their own lives, members of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society courageously marched down Washington St., through the angry anti-abolitionist mob.

Black and white, arm in arm, women, resolute.

And so, we will gather on October 21, 2017 to continue this courage, this love, and this honor of Horace.
