Seth Luther
Seth Luther ( 1795 – April 29, 1863) was an American antebellum workers' and suffrage organizer based in Providence, Rhode Island. A carpenter by trade, Luther was renowned in his time for his oratory skills and early work to organize workers into trade unions in the New England area. He was a key player in Rhode Island's Dorr Rebellion of 1842, where the working people of Rhode Island took up arms in an ill-fated crusade to expand voting to non-property holding men. Later in life, he was arrested and institutionalized after trying to rob a bank in the name of American President James K. Polk. He died in the Brattleboro Asylum on April 29, 1863. In 2001, The (Rhode Island Heritage Society ) inducted Luther into its Hall of Fame in recognition of his pioneering work on behalf of union organizing in Rhode Island.

In 1815, Luther was baptized and became a member of the First Baptist Church of Providence, the same Church founded by the Founder of Providence, Roger Williams. Two years later in 1817, Luther left Rhode Island and traveled to the frontier of the young country, seeing sights that would fill him with stories would punctuate his speeches on the rights of working people throughout the years to come. When he returned to Providence, and in July 1824, he was voted out of membership in the First Baptist Church on a charge of “Disorderly Walking. ”
