Last Remembrance Day, my posting was entitled «Lest We Forget,» which offered some profound words from poet / soldiers of WWI and WWII, including a moving passage from F.R. Scott, a Canadian lawyer who was
an important civil liberties advocate and past Dean of McGill Law School.
Oberlin College went so far as to
advocate «
civil disobedience» in the face of the fugitive slave laws (leading to the Oberlin - Wellington Rescue Case — an
important event in the history of American
civil liberties).
