Thought for the day, Thursday 20th February

World Day of Social Justice

I ask no favors for my sex. I surrender not our claim to equality. All I ask of our brethren is, that they will take their feet from off our necks, and permit us to stand upright..”

Angelina Grimké (1805 – 1879), abolitionist and women’s rights activist, born on this day
