and James Brewer Stewart was one of my college profs! He's a narrator, and currently involved with a new American anti-slavery movement of historians. He and his group are focusing on the human trafficking that is going on now, and bringing it to light so people know that slavery is, unfortunately, still around.

Hopefully I'll be able to see it if the cable doesn't go out. It's raining hard here and its already gone out once.
