The word slavery conjures up images of men and women in chains, taskmasters lashing the backs of laborers, of obsequious uniformed house servants saying, ‘Yes massa; No massa.’ But the fact is, over the centuries the face of slavery has morphed into many forms, some brutal and degrading; others more humane and subtle. Regardless, slavery is inevitable for all. It is foundational to our present human condition.
