Photo by renrut"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet avoid confrontation, are people who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its waters."

- Frederick Douglass, in a letter to Gerrit Smith, March 30, 1849
