Better death than a slave's life.
(English proverb)
The source for the proverb is Early American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases by Bartlett Jere Whiting (Amazon). The poster is made with AutoMotivator. The image shows Captain John Kimber who whipped an African woman to death on the slave ship Recovery (Library of Congress).
