In this group, there has been considerable focus on slavery past in the US but not much on slavery today.

I am trying to postpone responding, because you just touched on a subject I may never shut up about.

But as this is a history group, let me post a link to a very pertinent and moving exchange I was just involved with on Quora.com. It deals intelligently with the continuing relevance of "past" slavery to the present, particularly in the US.
