I see no trace of help in these cases from the Sharpton's, Jackson's and the CBC. They are too busy with their high-image demagoguery to handle the real cases, but that may be a good thing; if Sharpton and/or Jackson showed up to publicize these cases, they would immediately become trivialized suspect in the eyes of people who know these race-hustlers.
Better to let real cases of racism and slavery be pursued by others who are not held in contempt by so many.
Breakpoint " In 2005, I had the privilege of attending the award ceremony in Washington, D.C., honoring Gary A. Haugen. Gary is the founder of International Justice Mission, a Christian human rights advocacy group. With support from a stable of lawyers, investigators, and government liaisons, Gary travels around the world to help victims of human trafficking, slavery, and sexual exploitation.

Domestic workers and agricultural workers are especially vulnerable
Modern day slavery "It started one day in the early '90s, when a white van stopped him in front of the Fruit Stand grocery store in Hastings and asked if he needed work. He did. But as soon as he met Evans he knew he had found trouble. Evans was mean in a way that made Goodman feel suddenly aware of how far out of town they were. There was no phone. Chain link and barbed wired surrounded the property. The crew leaders looked hardened, "like they just come out of prison." The field workers called them henchmen. One of them gave him a pair of bloodstained work boots.

When I lived in Florida I heard rumors this was going on there, but saw no evidence until now.
I do know some of the white Florida farmers were VERY protective of their land...too protective. In fact, I was once arrested in 1980 for "trespassing" on to private property that was not fenced, when I wandered on to that property from a hunting area during deer season with hunting permit. It would appear that farm property in Florida does not have to be fenced. At the sheriff's office I had company - three other hunters were arrested that same weekend. The judge released us immediately without bond and the state attorney dropped the charge a few weeks later, but I always wondered what the Platt Ranch near Melbourne was hiding...Why the overreaction? I mean the ranch hands who surrounded me with loaded rifles could have simply pointed the way off the property and I would have departed. Ditto the other hunters.
Now I know what they were hiding out there and getting the Brevard County Sheriff's to play unauthorized security.
