Embracing, Chasing the Ideal

A delicious feast of thought and appreciation for a blinding flash of the obvious - we are born equal in the eyes of our creator and the work isn't finished until the government treats each of us the same as it treats all of us, with respect for our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

Frederick Douglass

“I hold that the Federal Government was never, in its essence, anything but an anti-slavery government. Abolish slavery tomorrow, and not a sentence of syllable of the Constitution need be altered. It was purposely so framed as to give no claim, no sanction to the claim, of property in man. If in its true origin slavery had any relation to the government, it was only as the scaffolding to the magnificent structure, to be removed as soon as the building was completed.” – From his “Address for the Promotion of Colored Enlistment,” 1864
