Thoreau and the Negro

Thoreau and the Negro

Walter Harding discusses Thoreau’s “one-man campaign for freedom” and his refusal to pay the poll tax to protest the expansion of slavery, which resulted in his overnight arrest. Includes Thoreau’s belief that it’ll take the strength of men, as opposed to the strength of the law, to make a change towards equality.
