Speech · Political speechPower concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.Frederick Douglass1857★ 7.3
Speech · Political speechIt is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.Frederick DouglassWhat to the Slave is the Fourth of July? · 1852★ 7.0
Speech · Political speechIf there is no struggle there is no progress. 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 many waters.Frederick Douglass1857★ 7.0
Speech · Political speechWhat, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham.Frederick Douglass1852★ 7.0
