Frederick Douglass: “I shall hold my slaves, and go to heaven too.”

For the moment the northern lamb was transformed into a lion, and his roar was terrible.

True it is that this faith was many times shaken by passing events, but never destroyed.

To make a man a slave was to rob him of moral responsibility.

The sentiment that brings us here to-day is one of the noblest that can stir and thrill the human heart.
