We are all bound up together in one great bundle of humanity, and society cannot trample on the weakest and feeblest of its members without receiving the curse in its own soul. You tried that in the case of the negro. You pressed him down for two centuries; and in so doing you crippled the moral strength and paralyzed the spiritual energies of the white men of the country. When the hands of the black were fettered, white men were deprived of the liberty of speech and the freedom of the press. Society cannot afford to neglect the enlightenment of any class of its members.

–“We Are All Bound Up Together,”
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper

Harper’s use of the word "trample” helps convince her audience that

only Black people face racism.
some people should have less privilege than others.
only strong people can survive in a society.
members of a community should not oppress one another.
