'Ironically, the same court that decreed that Dred Scott, a slave, was property, had granted to the corporation, a non-man, the sacred rights of citizenship...The Fourteenth Amendment provided that no state shall 'deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny any persons within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.' It was to be a shield of freedom to protect the emancipated slave against abuses from the states. But the Fourteenth Amendment soon became a formidable weapon used to subject both black and white to the will of corporate America. We have not often heard that story."
