Christian Science Monitor: New Fight, Old Foe: Slavery

Zach Hunter was only 12 years old when he became an abolitionist.

Quote: "When I learned there were about 27 million slaves in the world, it blew me away I wondered what I could do." - Zach Hunter, 12 Years Old

My response: Although young Zach's research is awesome and eye opening. It ain't surprising to know that slavery still exist around the world.
