Anna Dickinson was a teen sensation as an abolitionist public speaker. She was the first woman to give a speech on a political matter before Congress. This article from the Cleveland Plain Dealer reprints part of her speech criticizing the Grant campaign and the unwillingness of many Republicans to back full civil rights for African Americans.
