Totally agree. One of my favorite examples of an unknown, important person who should be celebrated is Eunice Carter - http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,288...

I think the stories on slaverystories.org are very thought provoking, and your comment leads me to question whether you have read or listened to many of them. For instance, you are incorrect that no slaves freed themselves--here's an e

This seems pedantic. There are plenty of reasons the site owner may have chosen the domain name. Not every discussion of a subject must be comprehensive--you noted in your comment that the history of slavery is vast. Why is this site owner

Ridiculous. Twitter management needs to start acting like it wants to solve problems. At this point, there should be a small department to deal with these sorts of issues, another to deal with abuse problems, etc. Way too many things go u

I'd ignore the hyperbole in the article--and really, what does that have to do with the little girl? It's still very impressive for her to score in the 99th percentile--no matter what her age.
