This newspaper article commemorates the anniversary of when William Lloyd Garrison was mobbed in the streets of Boston (in Oct. 21, 1835). One year ago, in 1878, Garrison was honored with a reception for the forty-third anniversary of the riot. The author of this newspaper article, L. S., comments about the reception: "How little they thought who were present that many of them were looking their last on the serene and honored face which had never quailed before a mob!"
