"Created Equal" film series continues with "Slavery by Another Name"

<div class="migrated-article"><a href="/sites/default/files/featured_images/Slavery-by-Another-Name.jpgdata-caption=" slavery by another data-title="Slavery by Another Name"> On Monday, January 27, LSU Libraries is hosting the second round of events in its film-based program, <i>Created Equal: America&rsquo;s Civil Rights Struggle </i>(funded by a grant from National Endowment for the Humanities).&nbsp; First, from noon to 1:30 PM, there will be a public forum in the Hill Memorial Library Lecture Hall that includes a showing of segments from the documentary, <i>Slavery by Another Name, </i>and a moderated discussion led by Prof. Kodi Roberts of the LSU History Department.&nbsp; Then, at 6:30 PM, there will be an uninterrupted full screening of <i>Slavery by Another Name</i> at the LSU Bookstore Event Room, on the 2^nd floor of the LSU Campus Barnes &amp; Noble Bookstore. <i>Slavery by Another Name,</i> an official selection of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, challenges the assumption that slavery in this country ended with the Emancipation Proclamation.&nbsp; This documentary tells how even as chattel slavery came to an end in the South, thousands of African Americans were pulled back into a brutal system of forced labor.&nbsp; The film gives voice to largely unknown victims of forced labor at that time and features their descendants living today.
