"I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs."
— Frederick Douglass, Autobiographies, 1845–1881
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland. He freed himself, on foot, through cunning and willpower. Becoming an orator, writer, and advisor to Lincoln, he remains one of the most quoted figures in African-American history. This sentence defines freedom as a deliberate decision rather than a distant hope.
For those who stopped waiting.
