INTRODUCTION. The Colored People's "Industrial College." WHAT SOME OF THE BUILDERS HAVE THOUGHT. A WORD oft-times is expressive of an entire pol icy. Such is the term Abolition. Though formerly used as a synonym of Anti-Slavery, people now clearly understand that the designs of those who have ranged themselves under the first of these systems of reform are of deeper significance and wider scope than are the objects contemplated by the latter, and concern themselves not only with the great primary question of bodily freedom, but take in also the collateral issues connected with human enfranchisement, independent of race, complexion, or sex. The Abolitionist of to-day is the Iconoclast of the age, and his mission is to break the idolatrous images. |
