While reading a heated online discussion today about MLK and his deservedness of a national holiday, someone posted that Frederick Douglass was at least as deserving if not more so, and posted the following quote:

Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its many waters.

I’ve never seen that before, but holy moly, isn’t that simply amazing? If that doesn’t fit todays political and social climate dead on, i don’t know what ever possibly could.
