The Bellamy Salute

Pictorial support above for this post by Michael S. Rozeff, of my alma mater — How Did Americans Survive Until 1892 Without the Pledge of Allegiance? Quoted is Timothy Kubal, "Francis Bellamy was a leader in three related movement groups -- the public education movement, which sought to celebrate and expand public schools, the nationalist movement, which sough to nationalize public services and protect them from privatization, and the Christian socialist movement, which sought to promote an economy based on justice and equality." Much to our shame, the scoundrel is a local boy, from nearby Mount Morris, New York.
