Here's Thomas Gladstone's Abolitionist hymnal
I've found something that is just beautiful here that expresses how I feel about an important cause. yes, education is my primary focus and I'll spend a lot of time helping you teach and use technology well. But a person who teaches should have a heart. My heart will be with those who cannot speak for themselves.
Chorus from “I am an abolitionist” taken from this page of hymns that make you ask why.
“I am an Abolitionist!
No threats shall awe my soul,
No perils cause me to desist,
No bribes my nets control;
In freedom will I live and die,
In sunshine and in shade,
And raise my voice for liberty,
Of nought on earth afraid.”January 2012 has been proclaimed National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month here in the US.
