You Have To Take Power. No One

No Man Can Put A Chain About The Ankle Of His Fellow Man Without At Last Finding The Other End Fastened About His Own Neck.

Every Tone Was A Testimony Against Slavery, And A Prayer To God For Deliverance From Chains.

In This Denial Of The Right To Participate In Government, Not Merely The Degradation Of Woman And The Perpetuation Of A Great Injustice Happens, But The Maiming And Repudiation Of One-half Of The Moral And Intellectual Power Of The Government Of The World.

Your National Greatness, Swelling Vanity; Your Denunciation Of Tyrants, Brass-fronted Impudence; Your Shouts Of Liberty And Equality, Hollow Mockery; Your Prayers And Hymns, Your Sermons And Thanksgivings, With All Your Religious Parade And Solemnity, Are, To Him, Mere Bombast, Fraud, Deception, Impiety, And Hypocrisy-a Thin Veil To Cover Up Crimes Which Would Disgrace A Nation Of Savages.

The Sunlight That Has Brought Life And Healing To You Has Brought Stripes And Death To Me. This Fourth Of July Is Yours, Not Mine.
