Today's Crusade for Liberty

REGINALD EVELYN NICHOLLS

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Such are the famous words of the American Declaration of Independence.

It was not until almost a century later, however, that President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in the United States to be "thenceforward, and forever free." This was some thirty years after Great Britain had abolished Negro slavery in her dominions.
