Like many of Topsfield's residents, artist and art historian Meg Black, PhD, was aware of the Walker Hancock sculptures, The Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, located at the entrance to Trinity Church on River Road.  While she had long admired the sculptures, she did not know the story behind them.  What she uncovered while researching them is a remarkable story of their creation and the three men whose dedication to art, religious tolerance, and civil rights made them happen.   During this lecture, Meg will share the story of the patron, William Appleton Coolidge; the sculptor, Walker Hancock, and the Episcopal Seminarian and martyr of the Civil Rights Movement, Jonathon Daniels, to whom they are dedicated.
