All Frederick Douglass quotes are from, “If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress”, available here: https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/1857-frederick-douglass-if-there-no-struggle-there-no-progress/  . Douglass attributes the first line we quote to ‘the poet’, who as far as I can tell is Lord Byron in “Childe Harold's Pilgrimage”, Canto II, Available here (though, at least in this version, without the comma): https://ia800703.us.archive.org/34/items/childeharoldspil05131gut/chpl10.txt 



The quote about mass protests is from Megan Day, “A Brief Intermission in the Age of Unrest”, available here: https://jacobinmag.com/2020/04/mass-protests-2019-global-trend-study?, which in turn draws on the report ““The Age of Mass Protests: Understanding a Global Trend”, published by the centre-right think tank The Center for Strategic and International Studies and available online here: https://csis-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/publication/200303_MassProtests_V2.pdf
