lyrics

"One by one, nearly every Southern State has passed separate car laws with a penalty against their infringement. My race is penned into stifling partitions, cut off from the luxury of smoking cars. All the while, the butcheries of black men, women, and children show 728 Afro-Americans lynched during the past eight years." — Ida B. Wells, "Southern Horror: Lynch Law in all its Phases" (1892)

"The times are revolutionary. The energies of mankind in our day are immense. There is an extraordinary activity of the powers of line in our age. The world seems to be whirling more rapidly than ever before. Vast changes have been brought about in our generation; others are in progress; yet others are impending. There is a new spirit across the continent, and its manifestations are everywhere. Questions from which there can be no escape are before us." — John Swinton, "Striking for Life: Labor's Side of the Labor Question" (1894)

"Beside not being able to ‘give account of himself,’ if it can be proven that he ‘slept in the open air’ the night before his arrest, and that, being hungry, he asked for food, both counts are construed against him as a proof of his guilt. The state legally regards him as a criminal, and being such, the state has the right to confiscate his labor. The taking of food by force to satisfy the demands of hunger is not a crime, but the asking for food is. Hunger in the United States of America, is crime." — Elbert Hubbard, "The Rights of Tramps" (1894)
