Famous Quotes
"If there is no struggle there is no progress . . . Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. "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. "People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get. "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.
The North Star Motto- "Right is of no Sex Truth is of no Color God is the Father of us all, and we are all brethren." Frederick Douglass Weekly Frederick Douglasss Paper Douglasss Monthly New National Era
