These words could have come from my own mouth:
"They charge me with fanaticism. If to be feelingly alive to the sufferings of my fellow-creatures is to be a fanatic, I am one of the most incurable fanatics ever permitted to be at large"
(William Wilberforce, abolitionist).

modern day 12-year-old slavery abolitionist!
Visit http://www.lc2lc.mspace.com/ - to see an anti-slavery campaign, "Loose change to lo
osen chains," that was started by a kid called Zach Hunter when he was 12 (he's still a teenager)! Zach calls himself an 'abolitionist' and created the campaign/organisation to fight against modern-day slavery, after he learnt that slavery was not just a ugly historical fact, but a present-day reality for many children and adults. Zach is inspiring. He makes me think: Yay!! People, even young people like me, are successfully fighting injustice and raising awareness!! It can be done! I recommend his book "Be The Change."
