Does The Senate Realize Slavery Is Still Happening In The USA?6/24/2009 2:38:00 PMOn Thursday, the Senate passed a resolution apologizing for slavery. The House of Representatives passed a similar resolution last July. The Washington Post quotes lead sponsor of the resolution, Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) as saying, “You wonder why we didn’t do it 100 years ago. It is important to have a collective response to a collective injustice.”
Innocents at Risk, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to fight the trafficking and exploitation of women and children through awareness programs aimed at educating the public of these crimes. If you would like to get involved to help fight human trafficking, I’d love for you to attend a reception and screening of the movie, “Taken” on Monday, June 29th. Please visit the Innocents at Risk website for more details, to purchase a ticket, or to make a donation to this worthy cause.
Yes, it is important to have a collective response to a collective injustice, but what disturbs me is that the injustice of slavery is still going on today. Our leadership is acting like slavery is something we have eradicated. We haven’t! It would be great if Congress would be as concerned about modern day slavery as it is about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade that happened 200 years ago.
