50 years back, a learned Professor teaching us Law used to say 'Anticipatory bail for the rich and anticipatory jail for the poor.'

Historical record of slavery comes from whites

While reading the review of a new book on slavery, ‘Revolution Without Borders: The Call to Liberty in the Atlantic World’ by Janet Polasky (Yale University Press) I came across a sentence which made me think about our ignorance of the real slavery. It says, “Slaves were not literate- the only ones in Guyana who could read and write was executed in 1796- so the historical record comes down from whites.”

This book describes the effect of revolution on the slaves and free men and women in the Americas and the Caribbean.
