A Common Cause
The ‘Ram’s Horn,’ at New York, calls upon the colored people to take the anti-slavery cause into their own hands. This cannot be done. It is not an exclusive, but a common cause, in which all classes in the land are deeply concerned. Slavery can be put down only by a combination of all classes against it. It is too late in the day to make anti-slavery a merely complexional affair. ‘A man’s a man, for a ’that.’
(Liberator, Feb 18, 1848, pg 2)
