<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Charles Sumner (R-MA), a leading abolitionist spokesman in
the United States Senate, was also a crusader for educational reform and
world peace. James Wormley�s long friendship with Sumner reflected their
shared values, including commitment to inter-racial friendship. Sumner
often stayed at Wormley�s Hotel and assisted Wormley�s efforts to
improve black education in the District of Columbia. He as also an
influential chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
(1861-1871).</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">When Sumner died, Wormley held a tribute service/viewing
in his hotel and later converted a parlor in recognition of his friend,
complete with furniture purchased from Sumner�s estate. Wormley also
commissioned a painting of Sumner which hangs today in the Massachusetts
State House in Boston.</font></p>
