“Those who profess to favor freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are men
who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without
thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of
its many 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 it
never will.”
Frederick Douglass, African-American abolitionist
