I Am A Republican, A Black, Dyed

Liberty For All; Chains For None.

In This Denial Of The Right To Participate In Government, Not Merely The Degradation Of Woman And The Perpetuation Of A Great Injustice Happens, But The Maiming And Repudiation Of One-half Of The Moral And Intellectual Power Of The Government Of The World.

Neither We, Nor Any Other People, Will Ever Be Respected Till We Respect Ourselves And We Will Never Respect Ourselves Till We Have The Means To Live Respectfully.

For Of All Slaveholders With Whom I Have Ever Met, Religious Slaveholders Are The Worst. I Have Ever Found Them The Meanest And Basest, The Most Cruel And Cowardly, Of All Others.

... And In Thinking Of My Life, I Almost Forgot My Liberty.
