Reality check

Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops
without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean
without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical
one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it
never has and it never will.
Frederick Douglass
