To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But now they must rind a'Gilgal, and "roll oft" this "re- proach. "' That which was true of slavery must not be true of free- dom, or freedom will be a failure. The privileges of education must. Be used to their utmost by every man, woman, and child of African blood, until a dark complexion shall no more suggest the idea of ig- norance thau does a white skin. Uulil that time shall come, the old •'reproach" will adhere. All can understand that the scars of a slave who had been often and severely... whipped, could testify, after he had received his free- dom, to what had been his condition. To hisdyingday they would say to every one who saw them: "This man was once a slave. The mark of his bondage is upon him!" But remember that the mind may have scars, as well as the body, aud that ignorance is such a scar in the black man. Get rid of it, then, my colored friends, if possi- ble. The opportunity exists. Government is providing common- school education for the colored children. There is much to try your feelings in some of the arrangements; but do not, on that account, lose the chance to learn.
