The Last Slaves of Mississippi.

Though I had planned only to write on this post once or twice a week, I had remembered a store I had read a few years back. It was about the Wall family who had been living in Peonage in the Mississippi delta. The complete storey can be read here. http://v-103.com/pages/325891.php

Although slavery had long since ended, the Wall family was still living the horror of this blemish in American history. The family had been traded between two family's for decades unbeknownst to the rest of the world. Their story is filled with rape and torture by their so called white slave masters.

For years the family was forced to pick cotton, clean houses, and milk cows. All without being paid, under threat of whipping, rape, and even death. And all of this was during the 21st century.

To the Walls, McDaniel, and Gordon families, your day in hell is coming.
