You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
I love and venerate the religion of Christ, because Christ came into the world to deliver humanity from slavery, for which God has not created it.
This stupendous page of our history must be followed by one more glorious still; and the slave will finally show to the free brother a sharpened iron which belonged to the links of his chains.
