(Written in honor of Caesar Rodney, the Delaware delegate whose ride to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia to cast the deciding vote enabled the friends of Liberty to pass the Declaration of Independence, on Thursday, July Fourth, Seventeen Hundred and Seventy-six.) Edward Doyle was known as "The Blind Poet of Harlem", having lost his sight at 13 years of age, and writing several collections of poems including "The Haunted Temple" and "Freedom, Truth and Beauty". - Summary by Michele Fry, BC
