This meme is a quote from a 1952 speech by President Abraham Lincoln, where he discusses the importance of equality and the need to end slavery. The quote is often misattributed to Lincoln, but it is actually from a speech by Frederick Douglass, an African American abolitionist. The quote reads: "I am a slave and I am a man. I am a man and I am a slave. I am a slave and I am a man."

If wecou! extinguish the capacity to see the light, our work Ww! complete. They would then be on the level of th of the fields and we then should be safe.
