Slavery has always been wrong

Slavery has always been wrong. Stop it wherever you see it. It has always been wrong. The gadgets, the weapons, the toys, the inventions, gone on don’t change anything. We are still all human beings, and we need to see that, respect that. Give life some dignity. That job is never over, recreated by every society, every civilization, every kingdom. Tie the hands of the brutes and the butchers.

Painting titled The American Slave Market by Taylor, 1852. Shows group of 13 white men, enslavers, in hats gathered at a slave auction, and a group of 7 enslaved people wait to be sold.
