Eight-year-old Dorsen is pictured cowering beneath the raised hand of an overseer who warns him not to spill a rock

He then staggers beneath the weight of a heavy sack that he must carry to unload 60ft away in pouring rain

Dorsen and 11-year-old Richard are pictured. With his mother dead, Dorsen lives with his father in the bush and the two have to work daily in the cobalt mine to earn money for food.

My father was a “hired man” at Richard’s age who sent money back to his family so they could eat. That was in this country, not in Africa.

I guess once more ‘white people’ are expected to do something about this outrage. We DID end slavery so I guess the ‘black community’ sees it as our problem. I’m betting even the person who wrote this piece is white.

Here’s my suggestion for the black community: PICK THIS UP AS A PROJECT FOR BLACK LIVES MATTER. Show the rest of us you care about something - anything - other than your selfish selves.

Surprise us... Protest for someone OTHER than yourselves...Protect these young black children WHO REALLY ARE VICTIMS.
