Excerpt from Wendell Phillips a Centennial Oration: Delivered at Park Street Church, Boston, November 28, 1911

The Centenary of the Birth of wendell phillips was impressively celebrated by a public meeting at Park Street Church, Boston, on the evening of November 28, 1911, under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Moorfield Storey, Esq., President of the Association, occupied the chair and intro duced the orator of the occasion, Judge Stafford, of Wash ington, District of Columbia, a namesake of Mr. Phillips, and peculiarly qualified by inheritance, training, and sym pathy to do justice to his subject. His address, delivered with rare eloquence and charm, made a profound impression on his audience, and was felt to be so noble and adequate a tribute to the great reformer that there has been an urgent request for its publication. The generosity of friends has made this possible, and will be gratefully appreciated by all to whom the opportunity of reading the oration is thus afforded. It has seemed fitting, in this connection, to re print from the Atlantic Monthly, in which it first appeared more than twenty years ago, Judge Stafl'ord's fine poem on Wendell Phillips, which has an equal claim to preservation with his masterly oration.
