Despite Of It All, The Negro Remains...

Everybody Has Asked The Question . . . 'what Shall We Do With The Negro?' I Have Had But One Answer From The Beginning. Do Nothing With Us! Your Doing With Us Has Already Played The Mischief With Us. Do Nothing With Us!

I Escaped From Slavery And Became A Leading Abolitionist And Speaker.

The Constitutional Framers Were Peace Men; But They Preferred Revolution To Peaceful Submission To Bondage. They Were Quiet Men; But They Did Not Shrink From Agitating Against Oppression. They Showed Forbearance; But That They Knew Its Limits. They Believed In Order; But Not In The Order Of Tyranny. With Them, Nothing Was "settled" That Was Not Right. With Them, Justice, Liberty And Humanity Were "final;" Not Slavery And Oppression.

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.

This War, Disguise It As They May, Is Virtually Nothing More Or Less Than Perpetual Slavery Against Universal Freedoms.
