À propos de ce contenu audio
At the memorial on the south side of City Hall, we see Octavius Valentine Catto, one of Philadelphia’s most prominent Black leaders, was an educator, abolitionist, and tireless advocate for Black enlistment and civil rights who worked closely with the Union League during and after the Civil War. After helping raise Black troops and champion voting rights under the 15th Amendment, Catto was assassinated on Election Day in 1871 while encouraging Black citizens to vote, and his funeral, organized in large part by the Union League, became one of the largest public gatherings in the city since Abraham Lincoln’s.
