UNTIL HAITI SPOKE

UNTIL HAITI SPOKE,NO CHRISTIAN NATION HAD ABOLISHED NEGRO SLAVERY...UNTIL SHE SPOKE,THE SLAVE SHIP,FOLLOWED BY HUNGRY SHARKS,GREEDY TO DEVOUR THE DEAD AND DYING SLAVES FLUNG OVERHEAD TO FEED THEM,PLOUGHED IN PEACE THE SOUTH ATLANTIC,PAINTING THE SEA WITH THE NEGRO'S BLOOD.UNTIL SHE SPOKE,THE SLAVE TRADE WAS SANCTIONED BY ALL THE CHRISTIAN NATIONS OF THE WORLD ,AND OUR LAND OF LIBERTY AND LIGHT INCLUDED.MEN MADE FORTUNES BY THIS INFERNAL TRAFFIC ,AND WERE ESTEEMED GOOD CHRISTIANS...UNTIL HAITI SPOKE,THE CHURCH WAS SILENT AND THE PULPIT WAS DUMB.IN FORECASTING THE FUTURE OF THIS PEOPLE THEN,I INSIST THAT SOME IMPORTANCE SHALL BE GIVEN TO THIS AND TO ANOTHER GRAND INITIAL FACT,THAT THE FREEDOM OF HAITI WAS NOT GIVEN AS A BOON,BUT CONQUERED AS A RIGHT!HER PEOPLE FOUGHT FOR IT,THEY SUFFERED FOR IT...AND PERISHED FOR IT..

(FREDERICK DOUGLASS -1893)
