This new series is an ongoing collection of quotes from the books I am currently reading. — Douglas
“The songs of the slaves represented their sorrows, rather than their joys. Like tears, they were a relief to aching hearts.”
From Life and Times of Frederick Douglass: (An African American Heritage Book)
