What To The Slave Is The 4th

I Have Observed This In My Experience Of Slavery, That Whenever My Condition Was Improved, Instead Of Increasing My Contentment; It Only Increased My Desire To Be Free, And Set Me Thinking Of Plans To Gain My Freedom.

If I Have Advocated The Cause Of The Negro, It Is Not Because I Am A Negro, But Because I Am A Man.

For It Is Not Light That Is Needed, But Fire; It Is Not The Gentle Shower, But Thunder. We Need The Storm, The Whirlwind, And The Earthquake. The Feeling In The Nation Must Be Quickened, The Conscience Of The Nation Must Be Roused, The Propriety Of The Nation Must Be Startled, The Hypocrisy Of The Nation Must Be Exposed: And Its Crimes Against God And Man Must Be Denounced.

What To The Slave Is The 4th Of July.

It Was Unlawful, As Well As Unsafe, To Teach A Slave To Read.
