“From some things that I have said one may get the idea that some of the slaves did not want freedom. This is not true. I have never seen one who did not want to be free, or one who would return to slavery.” WantMaySaidIdeasReturnSlaverySlave Book:The Booker T. Washington Reader Source: The Booker T. Washington Reader
