I heard a little of the broadcast on Tom Joyner and they said that some of the parents sold their children for as little as $14.00; with the belief that these people were gonna give their children a better life than what they could give them. Like an education, health care and better living arrangements etc. But in actuality none of that happened. Instead the children were used to perform jobs such as maids and prostitutes. I just can't imagine selling my child for any amount of money.

I had to bring this post back. I saw this during Mid-Atlantic Regionals on the news! We must be aware and take action!

It's Mid Atlantic Regional Conference! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

If the kids are still on the boat alive, how many of them are actually going to survive? Think about how few Africans actually survived the Middle Passage. Oh yeah...West Palm is a little rich in some areas, but that area of South Florida is Klan Country...go figure. This is still really sad.
