These days #Democracy #Equality #FreeSpeech mean folks don't cow-tow to #Heirs& #Graces.They stand up to bullying, controlling, gaslighting w/own truth. #Spare

#OTD John Lewis Russell, American #Unitarian #Minister & Botanist
In 1874, Edmund Willson wrote,
"Wherever this man went to fill a #Pulpit, lovers of #Nature gravitated to him. [They went along] to the #Fields, steep #Hills, and miry #Swamps.
His #Animated talk & kindling eyes as he described the
#Graces of #Ferns and the #Glories of #Grasses & #Lichens quickened their #Love of #Beauty.
He had an ear for the #Mysteries of the #Sea, #Forests, [and] #Moss-coated #Rocks."
