"El conocimiento hace que un hombre sea incapaz de ser esclavo"
— Frederick Douglass
Simplified Meaning:
When people learn and understand more about the world, they begin to see how unfair and wrong it is to be treated like slaves. For example, imagine a person who learns to read and write. They start reading books and finding out about their rights and freedoms. As they gain knowledge, they realize that they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, just like anyone else. When this person understands their own value, they would not accept being treated poorly or controlled by others. This new understanding encourages them to seek freedom and fairness. So, gaining knowledge empowers people to stand up for themselves and avoid situations where they are oppressed or treated unjustly. If everyone is educated, it becomes much harder for anyone to be taken advantage of.
