About: A noted lecturer, Wing promoted equal rights based on a biblical belief in equality. On Christmas Eve, 1851, this family hosted Mr. Thompson, his wife, and five daughters “to save them from the kidnappers.” When Asa Wing died in 1854, abolitionists erected a monument in the Mexico Cemetery, and Frederick Douglass delivered the eulogy.
