Did We Sell Each Other Into Slavery? By Oscar L.Beard, Consultant in African Studies, World History Archives. O handlu niewolnikami z punktu murzyńskiego widzenia.
African Ancestry Site Research conducted by Rick Kittles, Ph.D. and colleagues at Howard University in Washington, D.C. has shown that a DNA-based test can be used to help African Americans determine their African ancestry. By designing a huge database of DNA data from indigenous Africa populations, the researchers look for matches of genetic markers shown in African Americans. These markers, which have been selected to determine genetic lineage, reveal maternal or paternal lineage, while others identify a combination of both. The level of resolution in most of the African American samples analyzed thus far are high enough to discriminate differences between some regions, such as Senegambia (Gambia and Senegal), the Windward Coast (Ivory Coast and Liberia), the Gold Coast (Ghana), Bight of Benin (between the Volta and Benin Rivers), Bight of Biafra (Benin River to Gabon). All of these are ancestral regions for the bulk of African Americans. Although it is not guaranteed that specific ethnic groups can be matched, there have been promising findings thus far. We are continually updating our database of DNA data of African populations and hope to begin testing soon. Please become a member of our mailing list so that we can keep you updated on our progress.

Anti-Slavery International, London (ang.) Anti-Slavery International is the key organisation concerned with eliminating contemporary slavery. It pursues its goals by: collecting information, raising awareness and promoting public action; identifying ways in which slavery can be brought to an end, and influencing policy-makers in governments and other institutions to take action; and working with local organisations in countries with slavery and helping to give them an international voice.

Free the Slaves brought this movement to the United States, and is continuing the groundbreaking work Anti-Slavery International has provided for the world for over a century and a half.
Free the Slaves was launched with the support of Anti-Slavery International, and the two work together on many levels in order to have a greater impact in eradicating slavery. They maintain close links as equal and distinct members of a grouping of anti-slavery organisations that, within the wider international movement against slavery, have similar aims and operating principles, and adopt similar strategies to end cases of slavery. Free the Slaves and Anti-Slavery International also have an interlocking board of directors to ensure close collaboration.

This human rights organization brings together abolitionists and human rights activists from all races, creeds, and nationalities to collectively fight for the eradication of the chattel enslavement of black Africans. It is a response to the centuries-old practice of buying, selling, and breeding Africans by Arab Moors and North African Arabs which never stopped in the countries of Sudan and Mauritania.
S.T.O.P. Campaign (ang.) S.T.O.P. was founded in 1998 by a fifth-grade class in Denver that wanted to take action on behalf of children now held as chattel slaves in the Sudan. The students were in the middle of a history unit on American slavery when they learned that black people were still slaves in the Sudan -- especially boys and girls their own age.
That brutal fact was shocking, but the students refused to sit idly by. They began saving their lunch money towards purchasing the freedom of slaves. Some students even contributed cash given to them as birthday presents. In the end, they raised enough money to free two Sudanese slaves.
At the same time, the children attracted both local and national media for what soon became a nationwide campaign towards redeeming slaves. Media outlets who have featured the class' efforts include The New York Times, CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, and National Public Radio. The S.T.O.P. campaign has helped raise over $70,000 and free over 2,000 slaves. The class' teacher, Barbara Vogel, has also spoken before hundreds of teachers and educators about what students can do in the fight against modern day chattel slavery. Classes and schools across the country have now launched abolitionist campaigns of their own.
