Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Civil Rights Journal, Vol. 5
Except that there are slaves today in America. This bears repeating: There are slaves today in America. According to the CM report, new slaves arrive on our shores each year. They work in our fields; they work in our clothing factories; they work in brothels and on street comers. But who now is saying, as Frederick Dou glass said to his enslaved brethren, What you suffer, we suffer; what you endure, we endure?
In a recent episode of the fox TV show The Simpsons, the townspeople mobilize to protest the lack of police protection after a bear attacks Homer in his front yard; when the mayor protests that this is clearly a freak acci dent, a woman in the crowd cries out: Think of the chil dren! Later, the same crowd, angered about the high taxes they are paying for increased protection, again con fronts the mayor. Again, the woman protests, Think of the children!
