Marching through history - a dark, dark stain - Anna Belfrage As long as human civilisation has existed, a dark stain has existed right alongside: slavery. Sophisticated cultures have arisen and functioned based on slavery. Ancient empires, the predecessors of m...

Slavery at any time in history is repugnant, but when defined purely along racial lines it is even more abhorrent. @abelfrageauthor.bsky.social tells us a poignant story about women given, sold and exchanged in 18th cent. America. www.annabelfrage.com/2025/03/24/m... #MarchingThroughHistory
