Modern Slavery: A Primer

  • Posted by: Andrew Price , PieceStudio

It’s tempting to think of slavery as a fading blot on America’s past, but our country is still part of a modern, global slave trade.

    Thanks for this infochart. I think the upcoming film Call + Response will be worth checking out as well: http://www.callandresponse.com/

    This is important information on a subject that’s too often overlooked. Utne Reader, the magazine I work for, recently published an article on the same topic. You can read that here: People for Sale

    Thanks,

    Bennett

    Human trafficking, or modern day slavery, is a global issue that is in dire need of increased public awareness.

    Within the context of civilization and the progress of humanity, it is hard to fathom that more people are enslaved now than at the height of the transatlantic slave trade.

    It makes me think, what lesson have we not collectively learned that allows slavery to not only still exist, but thrive?

    For more information on human trafficking check out my website,

    GOOD The Human Trafficking Project.

    Listen to a single off my upcoming hip-hop album Beat Down Human Trafficking HERE.

    Peace,

    Justin

    “Eurasia comprises the geo-political areas of Europe and Asia”

    thus the phrase europe and eurasia is a bit off.
