Although many people think that slavery is a thing of the past, slavery is still with us today in many countries. Even the USA has things going on. Slavery is happening by debt bondage and forced labor. Research shows that an estimate of 27 million people are still enslaved workers in the world. The number of slaves today are higher than any other part of our history.

Although many people believe slavery is an event of the past, it still exists in many places, including the United States. There are two types of modern day slavery, debt bondage and forced labor. Though it is illegal it still goes on! Twenty-seven million people are enslaved, that is more than ever in recorded history, even more than when it was legal in some states.

Stars and Stripes
On April 18 Mrs. Blackburn’s Stars and Stripes of 4-H used Snap Circuits. Alex Davis led the pledge of allegiance and Toby Wells lead the 4-H pledge. We got in pairs to make the circuits. Snap circuits are batteries that connect to pieces to a light bulb to a switch.
