Frederick Douglass: “There is no salvation for either outside of a life of truth and justice.”

Knowledge unfits a child to be a slave.” I instinctively assented to the proposition, and from that moment I understood the direct pathway from slavery to freedom.

It only abolished slavery where it did not exist, and left it intact where it did exist.

If I have had kicks, I have also had kindness.

Slavery had no recognition of fathers, as none of families.
