Summary

This quote suggests that the abolition of slavery requires both the physical liberation of the enslaved and a psychological liberation for the masters. It argues that the benefits of freedom extend not only to the freed individuals but to the masters as well. This implies that clinging to systems of oppression ultimately limits the growth and well-being of both the oppressed and the oppressor. By breaking free from the oppressive mindset, the masters can experience a greater sense of liberation and personal development.
