A group of students will present Stand For Freedom, an on campus event to raise awareness of Emporia State students about modern day slavery, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. March 13, and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. March 14 in the Memorial Union Main Street.
“Today, there are more that 27 million slaves in the world, including in the United States,” said Charissa Forsythe, an ESU student who is helping to coordinate the event. “People can come find out more information about slavery and sign a letter to President (Barack) Obama urging him to use his power to help end slavery.”
For more information, contact Forsythe at [email protected].
