My Bondage and My Freedom

CHAPTER XXV
55/171

Let the ministers meet him; let them hear him; let them grasp his hand; and let him enlist their sympathies on behalf of the slave.

Let him inspire them with abhorrence of the man-stealer--the slaveholder.

No slaveholding American shall ever my cross my door.
No slaveholding or slavery-supporting minister shall ever pollute my pulpit.

While I have a tongue to speak, or a hand to write, I will, to the utmost of my power, oppose these slaveholding men.

We must have Douglass amongst us to aid in fostering public opinion.
The great conflict with slavery must now take place in America; and{329} while they are adding other slave states to the Union, our business is to step forward and help the abolitionists there.
