Every One Of Us Should Be Ashamed

I Have Observed This In My Experience Of Slavery, - That Whenever My Condition Was Improved, Instead Of Its Increasing My Contentment, It Only Increased My Desire To Be Free, And Set Me To Thinking Of Plans To Gain My Freedom. I Have Found That, To Make A Contented Slave, It Is Necessary To Make A Thoughtless One. It Is Necessary To Darken His Moral And Mental Vision, And, As Far As Possible, To Annihilate The Power Of Reason. He Must Be Able To Detect No Inconsistencies In Slavery; He Must Be Made To Feel That Slavery Is Right; And He Can Be Brought To That Only When He Ceased To Be A Man.

The Destiny Of The Colored American ... Is The Destiny Of America.

A Slave Is Someone Who Sits Down, And Waits For Someone To Free Them.

There Are At The Present Moment Many Colored Men In The Confederate Army Doing Duty Not Only As Cooks, Servants And Laborers , But As Real Soldiers, Having Muskets On Their Shoulders, And Bullets In Their Pockets, Ready To Shoot Down Loyal Troops, And Do All That Soldiers May To Destroy The Federal Government And Build Up That Of The Traitors And Rebels.

We May Explain Success Mainly By One Word And That Word Is Work! Work!! Work!!! Work!!!!
