Description
The Internet Archive presents a 2019 video, produced by MNN and hosted by Jason Clark, that discusses the legacy of the 13th Amendment--which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except in cases where it is used as punishment for a crime--and the loopholes left within the amendment that, according to the source, has allowed the federal government to imprison African Americans on flimsy grounds to exploit their labor as prisoners.
