Words of Frederick Douglass, former slave |
|
"Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurane of those whom they oppress.
"~~Frederick Douglass, former slave and one of the most prominent African-American lecturers and authors in American history.
