I freed hundreds of slaves in my life time. I could have freed hundreds more if

I feel this quote remains true even in todays day and age. Slavery does not only intale the rapture and confinement of a person physically, but one can be capture/tortured within the bounderies of their mind. Slavery can often relate to a mindset, a way of belief and thinking, or in actuality, a lack of fruitful thinking. Malcolm X said "There are slaves living around even today."

Yes...
Accepting less than what is natually granted.
The acceptance of the position in ones life even if unhappiness cohabits.
Buying into a forced reality even though it feels just that...forced.
Give thanks Ras_tyehimba for this quote.
Feeling blessed to be here,
