There are many problems in this world that we think about every day. Just a few: being late to events, completing schoolwork, whether or not the Red Sox are going to win. However, there is one problem in our daily lives that often is overlooked, a problem which can affect everything we do. Slavery, while most people think of its abolition as having occurred in the 19th century with Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclimation, is so prevalent today that more people are in the chains of slavery than ever before (twenty-seven million people). We need to raise awareness of this horrific way of life, and unless we do so, we will continue to live in an enslaved world for many years to come.
The link below has a photo slideshow accompanied by a public service announcement detailing the ways in which you can help to bring modern day slavery to a close for good.
The next link is a site where you can view all the PSAs made by students at RMHS on the topic of modern-day slavery.
