DESCRIPTION:On the 150th Anniversary of the Proclamation Emancipation\n Slave Labor, 
 Free Labor & Working People Today \nWith Carol Lang, CUNY Lecturer\n This 
 year is the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation by President 
 Abraham Lincoln. This set the stage to allow Black workers to join the 
 Union military in the fight against slave labor and the Confederacy. The 
 battle of Milliken’s Bend on June 4th 1863 was the first victory of 
 recently freed Black slaves who joined the Union army and at great cost, 
 held the line against the Confederate troops trying to keep Vicksburg in 
 the hands of Confederate forces.\n\n Today, 150 years later, slave labor is 
 growing in the US and around the world. This presentation will discuss the 
 links with the fight against slave labor 150 years ago and the meaning for 
 today for workers in the US and around the world. \nSee
