Born a slave, he escaped to freedom and became a fiery abolitionist, editor, orator, statesman and prophet. His famous words "I know of no rights of race superior to those of humanity" are engraved on our awards tonight and set the keynote for all our programs that benefit not only those denied equal opportunity, but all the people.
