I am not sure how to embed the video, but this video is about how a modern day slave camp was found in England on September 12th. Although this story takes place in England, not the United States, I believe both cultures greatly mirror each other. For slavery to still be going on in a modern society, it shows a striking difference of class. It does not say what type of people these slaves were; just that they were being held captive for about fifteen years in poor conditions. It does not say their original class, their race, or gender. I find it very sad that some people feel they have so much power over another human being, that they could make another person do something against their will. Until we are all seen as equals, I am afraid we will always have a separation of social status.
Great stuff Kelsey. Send me the link and I will try to embed it for the rest of the class
