Every tone was a testimony against slavery, and a prayer to God for deliverance from chains.
A slave is someone who sits down, and waits for someone to free them.
A man is worked on by what he works on.
The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.
Knowledge unfits a child to be a slave.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress....This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
