Kindred,
Today, we celebrate the end of slavery.
Here are five quotes by Frederick Douglass to ponder:
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress."
"The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous."
"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."
"No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck."
"Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them."
– Frederick Douglass
