Autorenporträt
Louis Albert Banks was an American author and pastor, born on November 12, 1855, in Corvallis, Oregon. He became a well-known figure for his social activism, especially in relation to the plight of the working poor. Banks was deeply committed to social justice, advocating for the dignity of laborers, particularly those exploited in the industrial workforce. He gained significant attention for his work as a writer and public speaker, often addressing the injustices faced by marginalized groups. Banks was the Progressive nominee for Governor of Massachusetts in 1893, reflecting his desire to bring about change within the political system. His efforts were deeply influenced by his Christian values and his role as a city pastor in Boston, where he witnessed the harsh conditions of sweatshop workers firsthand. Through his writings, including "White Slaves" and other works, he campaigned for labor reform and worked to raise awareness of the systemic issues that oppressed the poor. Banks also contributed to literature focused on human rights and revivalist Christianity, such as his work on Lucy Stone, an advocate for women's rights. He passed away in 1933, leaving a lasting legacy as a champion for social justice and human rights.
