12 Years A Slave

I watched the movie, "12 Years A Slave" for the first time yesterday evening.

It was all I could do...

Over the years, I have watched documentaries and read books on Slavery, the Civil War, and American History during that time. But I don't think I've seen anything more riveting or thought provoking since I first watched the mini series "Roots" when I was young.

I often saw it from the race perspective. But, slavery is also evil.

How can one own another soul and think it profitable?
