The Abolition Day Assembly was the culmination of several weeks of work by students throughout the school to research and learn more about Modern Day Slavery. We heard poetry written to express the truth about prostitution and watched a YouTube video created to publicize the horrors and the reality of human trafficking. Another student talked about a FaceBook page she had created to instruct and inform. The tenth grade history class distributed handouts they had written to illustrate what they had learned in their research. The Free the Slaves Organization presented more information about the issue. Burke has been tasked to spread the truth about this issue and we have made a great start.
