Independence? What does it mean?: The True Flaw in American Independence
How can we say that all men are created equal when we enslave our fellow man?
How can America be the land of the free and home of the brave if everyone is not free?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal"
Frederick Douglass
“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”
Abraham Lincoln
William Wilberforce
