Agitating for peace, justice and social change

"If there is no struggle, there is not progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, yet deprecate agitation...want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without the thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both mental and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand." -Frederick Douglass
