Slavery by Another Name
“This is a very powerful and eye-opening film. Ever wonder why immigrants came to America and in a short time got ahead of African Americans? Ever heard family stories of relatives who headed North and were never heard from again? Did you know that the enslavement of African Americans did not end until 1942? Ever heard of peonage? Everyone has heard of the chain gang, but do you know how and why it came about? Cities like Birmingham and companies like US Steel take on another significance. “Slavery by Another Name” is a powerful and illuminating expose of an American history seldom found in the history books but a part of history that affects even present American society. It illuminates the systematic suppression of African American economic development through the theft of “free” Black labor from just after the Civil War to modern times. It is not to be missed. It will be screened at The Pan African Film Festival, Saturday, February 11 at 5:15p. The director, writer and producers will be present for Q&A after the screening.” -Asantewa
