There ain't no negotiations on freedom big or small. There ain't no compromises, half-measures, anything. Not to those who in bondage. Not to any of us either.'Cause a country built on bodies will always need more for the slaughter. As long as slavery stands, ain't none of us, no matter hue, man or woman, be free. And if you refuse to see the chains us all wearing them, you living in a dream and the rest of us are suffering because of it.

Underground Season 2 Episode 6 Quotes

To tell you how I came to be free, first you gotta understand what bondage was like for me. How it attacks the senses. The sound of it. the crack of a whip like thunder. The feel of it...like you could barely take a full breath. The taste of it, like all your teeth, are made of copper. the smell of it. The fade in stench of everybody sold away; and the look of it, every eye turned down to the ground away from the horror.

Harriet

The first thing I knew, was to be afraid of white men.
