About the Author
Henry Ward Beecher was a prominent nineteenth-century American clergyman and abolitionist whose powerful sermons at Brooklyn's Plymouth Church made him one of the most influential preachers of his era.

He famously declared that "the mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye—the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract," capturing his belief in intellectual openness and moral progress.
