About the Matt Shepard Case
----- Original Message -----
Isaac,
So sorry you went through that. What can I say, that was horrible.
Slavery as an institution ended in the 1860's in the US, officially
banned in the British North American colonies in the 1790's, and in
the empire itself around 1825. Brazil did not end slavery until the
1880's. Sudan still allows for slavery as does several other
countries. Periodically the local papers report on cases where a
domestic slave is imported into an embassy here in the DC region and
then manages to escape. The diplomat usually gets away without any
consequences.
