Free Mauritania

Friday, May 9, 2003 » school update

Today Jason and I had to lead some discussion in our black studies section, so Jason found this website, www.iabolish.org (register now to become an eAbolitionist!) and printed up a set of two-page handouts on slavery in Mauritania for everyone. There ended up being quite a few leftovers, so we hatched the ingenius plan of going out to the Arbor and distributing them to random passersby. They were snatched up in less than a minute, and one girl even thanked me for it. We decided it was the best way to get rid of unwanted papers, and probably also the greatest thing to come out of black studies 5 so far.
