“Men may not get all they pay for in this world, but they must certainly pay for all they get.”
That is my favorite quote from Smithsonian Folkways recently-released CD, “A Voice Ringing O’er the Gale! The Oratory of Frederick Douglass.” The CD features artist and activist, Ossie Davis, delivering his interpretation of four of Douglass’s speeches. The above quote comes from the speech, “If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress”.
