How to Protest Slavery

Watch highlights from a protest the American Anti-Slavery Group helped stage outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C., on June 29, 2004. Black radio host Joe Madison, civil rights leader Walter Fauntroy (organizer of the 1963 March on Washington), the AASG’s Dr. Charles Jacobs, and many others, decried the Sudanese government’s infamous track record of slavery and the intensifying genocide in Darfur. Dr. Jacobs called for the unequivocal eviction of Sudan from the United Nations before Madison and Fauntroy allowed themselves to be arrested for blocking the entrance to the embassy.
