Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, 'What shall we do with the Negro?' I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us.
We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.
I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do the things I wanted.
The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.
I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.
What to the Slave is the 4th of July.
