midnight
How come you all redoosted to de state ob slaves ? How come bird shot cai n't pester a cinnamon bear ? Because yo ' brains and yo ' brawns is all spread out , desiccated on triflin ' things like cotton crops an ' cawn , sweatin ' undeh heavy loads ` stid of rulin ' at de seat of guv ` ment an ' dictatin ' whut 's whut . '' The orator dragged in another lungful of midnight fog and broke into the stretch . `` Heah 's de answeh , graved on de gol ' tablets an ' dug up in de midnight moon wid a luck spade . Gran ' oaks f 'm li'l acorns grow . Heah in San F'mcisco wid de aid of you all we starts de new movement towards de Canaan land .
