DESCRIPTION:Adam Hochschild, Writer; Lecturer, Graduate School of Journalism, UC 
 Berkeley; Co-Founder, Mother Jones magazine; Commentator, NPR's All Things 
 Considered; Author, King Leopold's Ghost and Bury the Chains  Brief 
 Description of Event:  In Bury the Chains, author Adam Hochschild 
 chronicles the first, and most influential grassroots human rights campaign 
 to end slavery throughout the British Empire in the late 18th century.  He 
 describes how the British abolition movement pioneered powerful methods 
 used by citizens' movements in democratic countries today and draws a 
 parallel between the struggle of the abolitionists and current global 
 campaigns to improve working conditions and end child labor in developing 
 countries.  His book is a reminder of how a strong social movement and a 
 few devoted individuals can awaken a nation's conscience and change 
 history.  \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/04/20/63743.php
