I couldn’t figure out if it was fate or faith that had brought me there. How funny those two words sounded when paired together. One was the inevitable, something I could not change in my life, while the other was the hope and belief that I could. These two words were enemies of each other, and one of them was down right dangerous for a slave to have anywhere near his mind. ↗

All I demand for the black man is, that the white people shall take their heels off his neck, and let him have a chance to rise by his own efforts. ↗
