«What to the Slave is the 4th of July.»
«I could, as a free man, look across the bay toward the Eastern Shore where I was born a slave.»
«The chance is now given you to end in a day the bondage of centuries, and to rise in one bound from social degradation to the place of common equality with all other varieties of men»
«Power concedes nothing without demand. It never has and never will. Show me the exact amount of wrong and injustices that are visited upon a person and I will show you the exact amount of words endured by these people.»
