SLAVERY BY
ANOTHER
NAME
The Age of Neo-Slavery
In this groundbreaking historical expose, Douglas A. Blackmon
brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history—when a new form of slavery was resurrected from the ashes of
the Civil War and re-imposed on hundreds of thousands of AfricanAmericans until the dawn of World War II
Slavery by Another Name is a documentary that challenges one of
Americans’ most cherished assumptions: the belief that slavery in
this country ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. The film tells
how even as chattel slavery came to an end in the South in 1865,
thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor
with shocking force and brutality. It was a system in which men, often guilty of no crime at all, were arrested, compelled to work without pay, repeatedly bought and sold, and coerced to do the bidding
of masters. Tolerated by both the North and South, forced labor lasted well into the 20th century. (90 min; 2012)
