"Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." -Frederick Douglass, civil rights activist, August 4, 1857
"Consider changing 'words or blows' to 'words or peace.'" -Merilene M. Murphy, poet, August 4, 2000 |
