Herein the USA we spend a lot of time in elementary school learning of our own nations history of slavery. These teachings are almost always in the past tense so it makes it very easy to forget that there is still modern slavery. We still has work to do to improve our society.

Just a reminder that the US never outlawed slavery, the US prison industry is one of the biggest examples of legal modern slavery.

There are also 400,000 illegally enslaved people in the US too. It's one of the 13 countries with 98% percent of the modern illegally enslaved populations. India is number one by total amount of slaves if anyone was wondering. North Korea was Number one by percentage population, unsurprisingly.
