Charles Sumner byl americký politik a vlivný řečník, který se stal vůdcem abolicionistického hnutí v Massachusetts. V Senátu Spojených států vedl radikální republikány během Americké občanské války s cílem zničit Konfederaci a osvobodit všechny otroky. V období Rekonstrukce se Sumner horlivě zasazoval o omezení moci bývalých konfederátů a o zajištění rovných práv pro osvobozené otroky, čímž se stal klíčovou postavou v boji za rovnost a spravedlnost.
