NY Daily News Covers Carson: "They Came In Chains, Ben"

:large




Let’s see if I have this straight. When men and women and children were kidnapped from their villages and separated from their families and packed into rickety ships for months at a time to be traded for tobacco and cotton and cloth and grain, that was immigration?

When people were branded with hot irons like cattle on a ranch so that ownership of one human being by another human being would not be in dispute, that was immigration?

When women were raped for no other reason than that it was Tuesday, or Friday or whenever a property owner felt the urge exert his dominance on another man’s wife or mother or daughter or sister, that was immigration?
