    Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

You do not know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise.”
