But the children that belong to the Father are those of Freemen. That is why the Slave Masters used to separate the black slave Father from the black slave mother and child to weaken them to better control them. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never did, and it never will. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
