Power concedes nothing without a demand


They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.


"Those who profess to favor freedom
and yet deprecate 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.



This struggle may be a moral one
or it may be a physical one



or it may be both moral and physical
but it must be a struggle.



Power concedes nothing without a
demand
It never did, and never will."




- - Frederick Douglass, Abolitionist, Author, Slave (1817-1895)
