Quote by Angela Davis
Well for one, the 13th amendment to the constitution of the US which abolished slavery - did not abolish slavery for those convicted of a crime.
Summary
This quote emphasizes a loophole in the 13th amendment of the US Constitution, which outlawed slavery except for those convicted of a crime. It highlights how the amendment failed to fully abolish slavery, as incarcerated individuals could still be subject to forced labor and effectively treated as slaves. This explanation sheds light on the nuanced reality and limitations of the 13th amendment's impact on ending slavery in the United States.
