“Facing Down Slavery, A Contemporary Story”

On Tuesday, September 29, three Boston–based humanitarians joined together in a panel discussion on the challenges and the means for facing down enslaving conditions in our world today.

Dr. Rev. Gloria White–Hammond; Ned Eames; and Rev. Kaia Stern, PhD, discussed what is involved in resisting slavery on political, sociological, psychological, and spiritual levels.

White–Hammond, of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Boston, founded My Sister’s Keeper, a humanitarian women’s group focusing on the plight of women in Sudan.

Eames founded Tenacity, a program offering tennis, literacy, and academic programs in a safe and nurturing environment for at–risk Boston youth.

Stern directs the Pathways Home Project at the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard Law School, focusing on transformative justice and education in prison, with specific attention to the experiences of people after incarceration.
