“let me exhort the friends of the slave everywhere, to lift up their heads and look upward, for, in spite of all opposition, the car of emancipation is onward. Let each and all seek to accelerate its velocity towards the goal of universal freedom.” – A S. Wing, The Charter Oak New Series 1, 13, 2 April 2, 1846
