John Glanville Gill : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Glanville Gill John Glanville Gill was a Unitarian minister, scholar, and civil rights activist. ==Formative years== Born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1909, John Glanville Gill earned a B.A. at the University of Wisconsin, where he convinced Alexander Meiklejohn to delay his departure so he could study with him in the Experimental College that Meiklejohn had founded, an S.T.B. at Union Theological Seminary in New York, where he studied under Reinhold Niebuhr, and his Ph.D. at Harvard University for research on Alton's martyr for the abolition of slavery, Elijah Parish Lovejoy.〔 (John Glanville Gill. The issues involved in the death of the Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy, Alton, 1837, Ph.D. Thesis, Harvard University, 1946 )〕 As a scholar studying pre-Civil War history in Alton, Illinois, John Gill moved to Alton in 1944 to serve as minister of its First Unitarian Church and to carry out field research on his subject. Elijah Parish Lovejoy had been transformed a century earlier from a moderate newspaper editor who wanted to "hear both sides" into a martyr for freedom of the press and the abolition of slavery. Like Lovejoy a century earlier, John Glanville Gill was also transformed from a scholar into a civil rights activist by what he experienced in Alton.
