Description
Excerpt from Pursuit of Freedom: A History of Civil Liberty in Illinois, 1787-1942 This case record of violations and threats to civil liberty is pre sented as objectively as possible and the events speak for them selves. The story of the struggle for civil rights in Illinois is largely one of the denial of freedom because such cases make the headlines and represent major campaigns of repression against some minority or indicate trends of public opinion in the field of civil liberty. This study is not intended to indicate that liberty in Illinois has been honored more in the breach than in its observance; on the contrary, it is intended to stimulate vigilance against vigilantism and to aid in understanding the problem of protecting civil liberties for all as the best defense of democracy. Pursuit of Freedom in Illinois is especially important, for in a state half industrial and half agricultural, in a state of the North bordering on the South, a cross section of the entire problem can be presented for purposes of study. Illinois was the home of Lovejoy, Lincoln, Altgeld, Anthony, Addams and Darrow. It was the scene of the Haymarket affair; the Pullman strike; the Prager lynching; the Herrin incident; the race riots of Springfield, East St. Louis, and Chicago; and the Memorial Day tragedy. These Illinois people and events were each of national significance in the field of civil rights. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
