 The system is not broken, the system is doing what a colonial slavery system designed to do. Remembering slavery now until everybody's free. Last Friday over 700 members of the community and activists convened the international house discussing resistance to slavery and injustice. We're going to be looking at how it is that we can move forward with this troubling past and with some of the troubling practices that are happening today. The symposium kicks off a year of events at UC Berkeley marking 400 years since slavery began in North America. The day-long event features three panels touching on issues such as mass incarceration and the civil rights movement. We're trying to bridge that gap and to look more at inclusivity and justice and promoting human rights. Many participants tell us that the event is necessary to speak truth to power. As we see it keeps coming up because we won't fully deal with what that institution was and how that impacts and reverberates up until today. He says that discussing the implications of slavery and injustice helped the country get a better sense of who it is. It's a shameful sin of this country that it oftentimes wants to bury.
