But that would be an absurd law to make about your own house or about a green grocer's shop. Now, the establishment of the institution of slavery required laws and cus- toms absolutely tyrannical in their character. NaBs in the heels of your boots in a powder magazine would be safety compared with letting education into slavery. [Applause. ] It was an institution that would be set on fire by the torch of knowledge, and they knew it, and therefore they said, "The shining gates of knowledge shall... be shut everywhere where a slave lives.
