Social Justice
"Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reforms. The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of struggle ... If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning ... The struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a phsyical 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."
"What man can make, man can unmake."
-- Frederick Douglass
