More quotes by Henry Highland Garnet
You had better all die - die immediately, than live as slaves and entail your wretchedness upon your posterity.
Henry Highland Garnet
Neither god, nor angels, or just men, command you to suffer for a single moment. Therefore it is your solemn and imperative duty to use every means, both moral, intellectual, and physical that promises success.
Henry Highland Garnet
Resistance! Resistance! No oppressed people have ever secured their liberty without resistance!
Henry Highland Garnet
The humblest peasant is as free in the sight of God as the proudest monarch that ever swayed a sceptre. Liberty is a spirit sent from God and like its great Author is no respecter of persons.
Henry Highland Garnet
