One trip to the Sudan doesn't make a campaign. Sharpton realizes like many other race baiters that such issues don't get money and attention. I read the article. There have been many christians sending money to buy slaves' freedom. One person I used to listen to was a Ethiopian Jew named William Levi, Operation Nehemiah Trumpet Call. Also, Curtis Sliwa and the Anti-Slavery group has done much in the way of activism on behalf of Sudanese slaves.

SPLA... used to be a such a good group. They've gone the way of many civil rights group... outdated,outliving their usefulness.

I didn't explain myself well. I was referencing 2 statements previously made- one from the body of the text and to the comment made. I agree, it takes more than one visit to be a FIGHT for something and I questioned even the CAMPAIGN when it is financed throught a group who's hands may be dirty as well. Sharpton is said by observers in the Sudan; however, to be the only civil rights leader that has raised questions on slavery issues by the SPLA as well; but then if he has such questions, why did he accept their financing to make such a trip?
