Sarah Vowell Quote
Wainwright prayed to the graven image of Lafayette, since neither the president nor Congress seemed to be listening. We, the women of the United States, she told the bronze Lafayette, denied the liberty which you helped to gain, and for which we have asked in vain for sixty years, turn to you to plead for us. Speak, Lafayette, dead these hundred years but still living in the hearts of the American people.
