Henry Hunt

Henry Hunt was a British orator and activist in the early 19th century known for advocating for the rights of working-class people, particularly the right to assemble and protest peacefully. He played a prominent role in organizing mass meetings and demonstrations to push for political reform, such as expanded voting rights. Hunt believed that public gatherings were essential for ordinary citizens to have a voice in government. While admired for his commitment to social justice, he also faced opposition from authorities who viewed his activities as a challenge to public order.
