A few years ago, I taught seventh grade social studies which spent about a quarter of the curriculum on Africa. When I would tell my prodominantly black classes about slavery continuing, they never believed me. I found a Lonely Planet travel video that actually went to a slave trading post, and though they wouldn’t show any slaves for sale on camera, they did show some people who claimed to be runaway slaves in hiding. Very informative for American kids.
Oh, the slave traders?
You guessed it; no southern accents, and not a white person around except the narrator.

This week, I was contacted by a number of civilian and military personnel (enlisted and officer ranks) who expressed concern about a military exercise proposed for Ft. Knox, the U.S. Bullion Depository. (For the record, I called Ft. Knox security for an official comment and received the standard reply: “We are not authorized to discuss this exercise.” The exercise in question may have been one of several proposed security exercise scenarios.)
