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
Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
~ Frederick Douglass
