More from Horace Mann
The dearest and most precious of all human rights is the right of private judgment in matters of religion.
The wickedest white man, in a company of slaves, bears a charmed life.
The aged and the infant she left for the vultures; but the strong men and the strong women she drove, scourged and bleeding, to the shore.
It is only in the land of slaves that they are blotted out and annihilated.
