<p style="text-align:center"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:18px">“Until the oppressor directly attacks the ones challenging their tyranny, there is no movement. It surely must've seemed a low point for William Lloyd Garrison when he was dragged through the streets of Boston for demanding an end to slavery - an end to the primacy of "property rights" of slaveholders over the human and civil rights of slaves. But without drawing that kind of fear-based reactionary attack, his radical abolition stance would not have been noticed or remembered today." </span></span></i></p>
