It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.
We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.
I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do the things I wanted.
The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.
I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.
What to the Slave is the 4th of July.
