Untold History: More Than A Quarter of U.S. Presidents Were Involved in Slavery, Human Trafficking
Published on Feb 17, 2014
http://www.democracynow.org - As the country marks Presidents' Day, we turn to an aspect of U.S. history that is often missed: the complicity of American presidents with slavery. "More than one in four U.S. presidents were involved in human trafficking and slavery. These presidents bought, sold and bred enslaved people for profit. Of the 12 presidents who were enslavers, more than half kept people in bondage at the White House," writes historian Clarence Lusane in his most recent article, "Missing From Presidents' Day: The People They Enslaved."
