Mexico village, New York, in scene of gathering of 3,000 people for the dedication of a monument erected in memory of Asa S. Wing of Mexico Academy graduate, anti-slavery leader of state-wide prominence, who died March 8, 1854, at the age of 38 years. He had been a co-worker with Gerrit Smith and Dr. J. C. Jackson, recognized state leaders of the anti-slavery movement. Frederick Douglas, colored orator and newspaper editor, made the dedicatory address on this occasion.

Also, lets hope they never bring debtor prisons back.
