---------Forwarded Message--------
From: Gilder Lehrman Institute
Subject: New Podcast / Women's History Month
Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2008
NEW PODCAST: CATHERINE CLINTON
Historian Catherine Clinton discusses Harriet Tubman.
Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in Maryland in 1820. After her escape to the North in 1849, she returned to the South more than a dozen times to ferry other slaves along the Underground Railroad. She later helped John Brown recruit men for his Harper’s Ferry raid, and during the Civil War, Tubman served as a Union spy. In this lecture, historian Catherine Clinton details the quest to uncover new information on Tubman’s extraordinary life.

Human Trafficking of Children in the United States: A Fact Sheet for Schools (PDF; 48 KB)
Source: U.S. Department of Education
http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osdfs/factsheet.pdf
Trafficking can involve school-age children—particularly those not living with their parents—who are vulnerable to coerced labor exploitation, domestic servitude, or commercial sexual exploitation (i.e., prostitution).
Sex traffickers target children because of their vulnerability and gullibility, as well as the market demand for young victims. The average age of entry into prostitution is 12 to 14 years old and traffickers (also called “pimps”) are known to recruit at schools and after-school programs. Recruitment can take multiple forms, including: 1) kidnapping; 2) solicitation by other women or girls recruiting on behalf of the sex trafficker; and 3) the “loverboy” approach of appearing genuinely interested in a romantic relationship while gradually coercing the victim into prostitution.

Right now all the emphasis in the news media is on presidential
candidates, but given widespread dissatisfaction with Congress, this wiki
from the producers of Congresspedia could be just as useful for voters,
with its "profiles on candidates for Congress, coverage of the elections,
listings of local blogs for each state and informal groups of citizen
editors who are working together to improve and expand related articles."
It also provides info on candidates' campaign finance, and their ties to
special interest groups. For sitting members of Congress, it links to
info about their voting records and controversies.
