From 1830 to 1890, Burleigh family members were Abolitionists, reformers, and poets, intent on making the United States a place of freedom and equality for all. They envisioned a future where people of all races and genders would enjoy the benefits of education and opportunity. Burleigh family members were tireless in the pursuit of this vision - as activitst, as artists, as writers and editors. Their story of embracing change for the long haul and being anti-racist white people - over decades and decades - can inspire us now.
