St Clair Brooks’ daughter, Marion, was still teaching Sunday School at Falmouth Baptist Church when the monument her father took her to see in 1932, when she was almost seven, was moved to Washington Avenue.

She told me: “He said it was important since it wasn’t just about freedom to worship as you choose, but that it wasn’t anyone else’s business”. I told Marion her father must have thought she was pretty smart. She replied “He did!” Marion Brooks Robinson died age 92, March 28, 2018.
