“First of all, everyone must acknowledge and feel that child slavery still exists in the world, in its ugliest face and form. And this is an evil, which is crime against humanity, which is intolerable, which is unacceptable and which must go. That sense of recognition must be developed first of all. And secondly there is a need of higher amounts of political will. There is a need of higher amount of corporate engagement, and the engagement of the public towards it. So, everybody has a responsibility to save and protect the children on this planet.” WorldNeedsFeelsFirstsChildrenStillsFacesFormPoliticalHumanityEvilResponsibilityCrimePlanetsAmountHigherProtectSlaveryRecognitionCorporateAcknowledgeEngagementPolitical WillCrimes Against Humanity Author:Kailash Satyarthi

“There are millions of white Americans today who still can barely bring themselves to acknowledge that the Civil War, with its twin Americas locked in a death match, was about slavery. They'll argue it was about economics, and they're right only because one of those economies was a slave economy. They'll argue it was about culture, and they're right only because one of those cultures was a slave culture.” StillsWarTodayCultureWhiteMillionsEconomyEconomicsSlaverySlaveArguingAcknowledgeCivil WarLockedTwins Author:Steve Erickson

“We have inherited a fear of memories of slavery. It is as if to remember and acknowledge slavery would amount to our being consumed by it. As a matter of fact, in the popular black imagination, it is easier for us to construct ourselves as children of Africa, as the sons and daughters of kings and queens, and thereby ignore the Middle Passage and centuries of enforced servitude in the Americas. Although some of us might indeed be the descendants of African royalty, most of us are probably descendants of their subjects, the daughters and sons of African peasants or workers.” IfsChildrenMatterFactsMightRememberBlackImaginationMemoriesMiddleSubjectsCenturySonAmountKingsEasierDaughterSlaveryWorkersQueensAcknowledgePassagesConstructsRoyaltyConsumedPeasantsMatter Of FactServitudeDescendantsSon And DaughterKings And QueensMiddle Passage Author:Angela Davis
