Abolition Movement
"If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong." -Lincoln
Enjoy listening to music that I hope might inspire you to join the movement towards freedom!
Visualizing Lux Aurumque by Eric Whitacre
The piece of music is titled Lux Aurumque by Eric Whitacre.
Why Should You Join?
Join because it's what you deserve. We are humans just as much as the whites and deserve to be treated as such. We've put up with this problem long enough. Now that a law has been passed ending the slave trade, we are one step closer to the complete ending of slavery!
Don't you want to be able to own your own house, your own land, make money for yourself, and raise your family the way you want to?
Join right along with our most prominent leaders!
Frederick Douglas
He believes in human rights for all people especially for black Americans and women. Frederick gives great speeches which you should definitely go hear because he is the first person who knows from personal experience what it is like to be a slave like us.
"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." -from an Address at a Civil Rights meeting, 1883
David Walker
Walker wants slavery to end immediately not gradually like we have been fooled to believe and you should too!
Check out his pamphlet, Appeal... to the Colored Citizens of the World!
Harriet Tubman
She wants freedom for slaves. Ever heard of the Underground Railroad? It's a secret and safe route for people like us to escape!
Goals
We, as much as anyone deserve freedom. Join us, as we fight for our independence! We want to be treated as humans like everyone else!
