Video, Charge: “Modern-Day Slavery in the State of Florida!”

On Saturday morning, Aug. 14, 2010, at Baltimore, MD’s Inner Harbor, I interviewed two Human Rights activists, Brigitte Gynther and Oscar Otzoy. They are members of the “Coalition of Immokalee Workers,” (CIW). It is sponsoring a mobile “Florida Modern-Day Slavery Museum,” which has recently been touring the northeast part of the country. See for details: http://www.ciw-online.org/ Their group has assisted federal officials “in prosecuting six cases of modern-day slavery in Florida.” As recent as Dec. 2008, two farm labor employers were convicted in a “servitude” situation, that, according to the CIW, the U.S. Attorney Doug Molloy labeled: “One of Florida’s biggest, ugliest slavery cases ever!”
