The Rejected Stone: Injustice, Resistance, and America’s Founding Contradictions examines the powerful abolitionist writings of Moncure Daniel Conway and the moral crisis slavery created in the years leading up to and during the Civil War. Through Conway’s essays, the exhibit explores how the nation’s founding ideals were tested by the realities of bondage, political conflict, and social upheaval. It also traces how these arguments helped shape the abolition work of Susan B. Anthony, revealing the deep connections between antislavery activism and the broader struggle for justice in America.
