11 August - Robert Green Ingersoll Day
Ingersoll, (born Aug. 11, 1833, Dresden, N.Y., U.S.—died July 21, 1899, Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.), American politician and orator known as “the great agnostic” who popularized the higher criticism of the Bible, as well as a humanistic philosophy and a scientific rationalism.
He supported equality for African Americans, women's suffrage, even D.C. voting rights. At a suffrage meeting in Washington in 1880, Ingersoll said: “I do not believe that only the rich should vote, or that only the whites should vote, or that only the blacks should vote.
