00:44International Anti-Slavery Org.-Book Black Abolitionist ch8
International Anti-Slavery Movement-Book Black Abolitionist chapters 7& 8! when the idea suddenly flashed across my mind of shutting myself up in a box, and getting myself conveyed as dry goods to a free state. he did not think I could live in a box for so long a time as would be necessary to convey me to Philadelphia,
where I was again placed with my head down, and in this dreadful position had to remain nearly an hour and a half, which, from the sufferings I had thus to endure, seemed like an age to me, but I was forgetting the battle of liberty, and I was resolved to conquer or die. I felt my eyes swelling as if they would burst from their sockets; and the veins on my temples were dreadfully distended with pressure of blood upon my head. In this position I attempted to lift my hand to my face but I had no power to move it; I felt a cold sweat coming over me which seemed to be a warning that death was about to terminate my earthly miseries, but as I feared even that, less than slavery,
I resolved to submit to the will of God, and under the influence of that impression, I lifted up my soul in prayer to God, who alone, was able to deliver me. My cry was soon heard, for I could hear a man saying to another, that he had travelled a long way and had been standing there two hours, and he would like to get somewhat to sit down; so perceiving my box, standing on end, he threw it down and then two sat upon it.

Pro-Life Fridays
Today, PLFR hosts take a very honest look at the facets of the pro-life movement, both positive and negative. Thomas will address specifics on obstacles to cooperation among different pro-life groups, abolitionist groups, and personalities.
Plus, as the IRS scandal unfolds, the public has learned that the dragnet for audits and invasive scrutiny included not only conservative Tea Party groups and pro-Israel groups, but also pro-life groups. The Coalition for Life of Iowa was one such group that received quid pro quo demands from one IRS agent during its application process for a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. We will be talking to Congressman Aaron Schock (R) from Illinois about his recent involvement in the Congressional hearings on the IRS targeting. We will also be interviewing Sue Martinek from the Coalition for Life of Iowa on her experience being the target of harrassment from the IRS.

Generation No More talks Human Trafficking
Generation No More welcomes abolitionist Kiera Samantha!! What do you think of when you hear the words Human Triafficking? Do you suddenly get a picture of women being shipped around the world to various locations for various duties?
Kiera Samantha is a survivor of a different sort of Human Trafficking; one that goes on in every city across the Untied States. A form of trafficking which sucks the teens today into their arms like a new family, but then forces them into either dealing drugs or selling their body in order to continue their funding.
This type of Human Trafficking is what our street gangs do with our children ever single day. If the child is not happy at home or no one there to connect with, they will go find someone who will be there. These gangs are what our kids run to these days and they are becoming increasingly violent.
Kiera and the growing team at Oaklahomans Against Trafficking Humans knows this ugly truth all too well. They know how easy it is for our young girls to be drawn into this crowd looking for friendship, cute boys, or what they believe is a SAFE place. Our young sons are searching out the male bonding, the weapons, the money earned from the sell of drugs. This is trafficking in every city across the nation. Will you become aware and help teens in trouble??
Please help by sharing the show, call in live at 347-215-7754 or get busy with others in our chat room.
