The decision by the owners of two major American newspapers not to endorse a presidential candidate contrasts with the heroism of an abolitionist editor who gave his life in defense of free speech.
Painfully ironic that the world premiere of Elijah's Call comes on the heels of two such monumental acts of journalistic cowardice! Hopefully, this stirring Oratorio will kick-start some well-deserved attention to Lovejoy's heroism and his importance in the history of the anti-slavery movement.
Bravo - well done!
