I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person, now that I was free. There was such a glory over everything. The sun come like gold through the trees and over the fields, and I felt like I was in heaven.
~ Harriet Tubman
Call back some faint spirit of Jefferson and Lincoln, and when again we can hold a fair election on real issues, let's vote, and not till then. Is this impossible? Then democracy in America is impossible.
~ W.E.B. DuBois
