“Those who profess to favor freedom
And yet deprecate agitation
Are men who want crops
Without plowing the ground
They want rain without thunder and lighting
They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters
Power concedes nothing without demand
It never did, and never will.”
Fredrick Douglas, August 4, 1857
