atane:buuuuuuuuug:A young worker at a forced labor camp is tied to a pickaxe as punishment. Texas, early 1930s.PBS did a documentary a while back called “Slavery By Another Name” and this image was part of it.

Many of the prisoners in these forced labor camps were children.Click here for the more information on the documentary. Click around the site to see images. When I first saw them, I felt like I got hit with a ton of bricks. You can just see the overwhelming sense of defeat and hopelessness in the eyes of the Black folks in the images. You might shed some tears. I certainly did.This is US History. Know it. -- source link
