A R I S E, my soul, on wings enraptur'd, rise. To

praise the monarch of the earth and skies, Whose

goodness and benificence appear as round its centre

moves the rolling year, or when the morning glowswith rosy charms, or the sun slumbers in the ocean's

arms: Of light divine be a rich portion lent To guide

my soul, and favour my intend. Celestial muse, my

arduous flight sustain and raise my mind to a

seraphic strain! Almighty, in these wond'rous works

of thine. What Pow'r, what Wisdom, and what

Goodness shine! And are thy wonders, Lord, by men

explor'd, and yet creating glory unador'd!

5/16

O, ye daughters of Africa, awake! arise! no longer sleep nor slumber, but distinguish

yourselves. Show forth to the world that ye are endowed with noble and exalted faculties.

Look at our young men, smart, active, and energetic, with souls filled with ambitious fire;

if they look forward, alas! What are their prospects? They can be nothing but the humblest

laborers, on account of their dark complexions; hence many of them lose their ambition,

and become worthless.

Had the men amongst us, who have had an opportunity, turned their attention as

assiduously to mental and moral improvement as they have to gambling and dancing, Imight have remained quietly at home, and they stood contending in my place.

MARIA W. STEWART18031879

I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one o

two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I coul

not have one, I would have the other.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always

remember, you have within you the strength, the

patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to

change the world.

I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a

thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.

LUCY DELANEYc. 18301891

"The hours are growing shorter for the millions who are toiling;And the homes are growing better for the millions yet to be;

And we all shall learn the lesson, how that waste and sin are spoiling,The fairest and the finest of a grand humanity.

It is coming! it is coming! and men's thoughts are growing deeper;They are giving of their millions as they never gave before;They are learning the new Gospel; man must be his brother's keeper,

And right, not might, shall triumph, and the selfish rule no more."

Considering the limited advantages offered me, I have made thebest use of my time, and what few talents the Lord has bestowed on

me I have not "hidden in a napkin," but used them for His glory andto benefit those for whom I live. And what better

can we do than to live for others?

My mother had so often told me that she was a free woman and thatI should not die a slave, I always had a feeling of independence

NEVER GIVE UP THE BALLOT.

Rome got her civilization from Greece; Greece borrowed hers fromEgypt, thence she derived her science and beautiful mythology . . . . As

we ascend the Nile we come to Meroe the queen city of Ethiopia and thecradle of learning into which all Africa poured its caravan. So we tracethe light of civilization from Ethiopia, to Greece, to Rome, and thence

diffusing its radiance over the entire world.

IDA B. WELLSJuly 16, 1862March 25, 1931

An early leader in the civil rights movement, she documented the extentof lynching in the United States, and was also active in the women's rights a

suffrage movements.

One had better die fighting against injusticethan die like a dog or a rat in a trap.

Brave men do not gather by thousands to torture and murder a single individuaso gagged and bound he cannot make even feeble resistance or defense.

No nation, savage or civilized, save only the United States of America, hasconfessed its inability to protect its women save by hanging,

shooting, and burning alleged offenders.

The white mans victory soon became complete by fraud,violence, intimidation and murder.

FRANCES ELLEN HARPERSeptember 24, 1862February 22, 1931

Abolitionist, fearless champion of human rights , lecturer, writer, activist and poet.

The important lesson we should learn and be able to teach, is how to make eve

gift, whether gold or talent, fortune or genius, sub serve the cause of crushed humanity and car

out the greatest idea of the present age, the glorious idea of human brotherhood.No race can afford to neglect the enlightenment of its mothers.

We are all bound together in one great bundle of humanity, and society cannot trample on th

weakest and feeblest of its members without receiving the curse in its own soul.

The work of the mothers of our race is grandly constructive. It is for us to build above the wre

and ruin of the past more stately temples of thought and action. Some races have been overthro

dashed in pieces, and destroyed; but to-day the world is needing, fainting, for something bette

than the results of arrogance, aggressiveness, and indomitable power. We need mothers who a

capable of being character builders, patient, loving, strong, and true, whose homes will be uplift

power in the race. This is one of the greatest needs of the hour.

SEPTEMBER 2011

To the lack of incentive to effort, which is the awful shadow under which

we live, may be traced the wreck and ruin of scores of colored youth.

I cannot help wondering sometimes what I might have become and

might have done if I had lived in a country which had not circumscribed

and handicapped me on account of my race, that had allowed me to reach

any height I was able to attain.

Seeing their children touched and seared and wounded by race prejudiceis one of the heaviest crosses which colored women have to bear.

MADAME C. J. WALKERDecember 23, 1867 May 25, 1919

Perseverance is my motto.

I got myself a start, by giving myself a start.

Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities tocome; you have to get up and make them.

I am a woman who came from the cotton fields othe South. From there I was promoted to the

washtub. From there I was promoted to the cookkitchen. And from there I promoted myself into th

business of manufacturing hair goods and

preparations. I have built my own factory on myown ground.

We have the men, we have the women, we have the brain. Let us

form a partnership of heads and brains, and actually do something.

If a solution isn't enduring, it's not really a solution. In process

automation, we need enduring systems and solutions that becomestandards in their own right.

An American educator, civil rights leader and founder ofBethune-Cookman University. She was a leader of women, adistinguished adviser to several American presidents, and a

powerful champion of racial equality.

The true worth of a race must be measured by the

character of its womanhood.

We have a powerful potential in our youth, and we must have the courage to chang

old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.

Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service. Without it, nothing is possible.

With it, nothing is impossible.

The whole world opened to me when I learned to read.
