iAbolish -- Web Portal of the American Anti-Slavery Group
Yesterday at Saint Michael's College, I had the privilege of hearing Francis Bok tell his story of being captured, forced into slavery, and subsequent escape ten years later in Sudan.
I was a very compelling and thought-provoking account. If you have the opportunity, go & hear Francis Bok's story.
His talk ranged from his saddening experiences as a slave in the Sudan to his unrelenting desire for freedom and finally ending with his optimistism, energy, and drive to improve himself, get an education and educate others about suffering in Sudan.
A remarkable story from a remarkable individual. Just go and listen for yourself.
