Dear Abolitionists,

Please join the fight against slavery and Stop Modern Slavery for an anti-slavery author talk and book signing on March 26th at Busboys and Poets, in Washington, DC.

Featuring:
Ben Skinner, A Crime So Monstrous. Ben is a journalist who traveled the world to document slavery, meeting slaves, slaveholders, traffickers and liberators. His book is a thought-provoking and deeply moving investigation of slavery today, and an in-depth look at the United States’ response to this global problem.

Kevin Bales, Ending Slavery: How We Free Today’s Slaves. Kevin is the world’s leading expert on modern slavery, President of Free the Slaves and a fellow DC Stop Modern Slavery member. Kevin has researched slavery for over 13 years and has written extensively on the subject, including Pulitzer Prize nominated Disposable People in 1999. In this book, he outlines the first comprehensive plan for ending slavery, Forever!

With photos by Kay Chernush, who was commissioned by the US Dept. of State to photo-document slavery around the world.
