Piece Description
This week on AVR we?re going to explore America's history of slavery. - Our country and our economy was built on the backs of millions of Africans and Native Americans who were kidnapped from their homes and families and forced to live out a life of hard labor to enrich white Europeans and White Americans. For centuries twisted religious and moral beliefs spawned the industrial abuse of fellow human beings. -This system was so entrenched into the ideals of this country that 140 years since the end of the civil war our history of slavery still has an underlying hand in shaping our foreign and domestic polices and our continued struggle to gain true equality fro every man woman and child in America. Many may think that the Union Victory of the civil war ended the slave trade for White Southerner, but a new book shines a light on a forgotten portion of history that had Americans continuing to traffic in kidnapped human beings long after Appomattox Courthouse. This week and next week we welcome to the program Gerald Horne, he is Morris Professor of African American studies at the University of Houston?his newest book is the Deepest South The United States, Brazil and the African Slave Trade.

Review of Active Voice Radio 6-15-07: Gerald Horne- The Deepest South: The US, Brazil and the African Slave Trade
Active Voice Radio brings back some of the force and view gone missing in public radio these days. The show takes on topics at the edge. We need that now when content on local and national shows so often overlaps.
I listened to the show's June 15, 2007 broadcast. Houston University's Gerald Horne talked about the US slave trade and its ties to Brazil and the South Pacific, especially AFTER the Civil War. It's underdiscussed material.
Horne had lots to say on the subject and a clear, largely economic analysis based on his two books. But I wanted a bit more from the host -- not facts, but perhaps an attempt to pull an opposing argument or point of view from the guest.
Producer and Host Chris Goldstein has a nice sound and asks good questions. Now he needs to take charge.
