Brings tears to my eyes. The injustice and suffering of that disgraceful

era, though removed by law, has since been selectively codified for use on the vulnerable by present day political demagogues who find it expedient to pollute their nation in their quest for money, power and control of the levers that govern modern society. Make no mistake, the stigma of slavery is not far beneath the surface of today. Watch Fox for a few minutes, or tune into one of the 1500 GOP entitled stations if you can stomach it. They are a monumental megaphone besmirching the search for true social justice.
