Slavery By Another Name
by Sam Pollard
**DATE CORRECTION**
Wednesday, February 26th
6:30pm
City College of NY, Shepard Hall Room 291

Followed by Q&A with Sam Pollard
Presented by the Documentary Forum@CCNY, the MCA Department, the Black Studies Program, the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership and Third World Newsreel and the Black Documentary Collective
Free, limited seating, RSVP required
This fascinating 90 minute documentary challenges one of America's most cherished assumptions: the belief that slavery ended with Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. The documentary recounts how in the years following the Civil War, insidious new forms of forced labor emerged in the American South, keeping hundreds of thousands of African Americans in bondage, trapping them in a brutal system that would persist until the onset of World War II.
