“Just think that this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech! Just imagine, finally, that it is in the midst of people who call themselves the greatest friends of liberty and humanity that one has approved the most barbarous slavery and questioned whether Black men have the same kind of intelligence as whites!”

— Count Constantine F. C. DeVolney

“Given the odds, we weren’t supposed to stop being slaves. Given the opposition, we weren’t supposed to have an education. Given the history, we weren’t supposed to have families. Given the blues, we weren’t supposed to have spirit. Given the power of the enemy, we weren’t supposed to fight back. Not only have we achieved victories, we have–despite the powers against us–become our own victories”
