Quotes

“We have never conformed with that class of philosophers who would keep the people in ignorance, lest they might change their opinion from former predilections.”
“Politicians, religionists, colonizationists, and abolitionists, have each and all, at different times, presumed to think for, dictate to, and know better what suited colored people, than they knew for themselves”
“A moral and mental, is as obnoxious as a physical servitude, and not to be tolerated; as the one may, eventually, lead to the other.”
