This week, as many Americans celebrate "Juneteenth," a special day
of recognition commemorating the end of slavery in the United
States, BILL MOYERS JOURNAL examines racial inequality in
America through the prisms of the legacy of slavery and the current
socio-economic landscape. Bill Moyers interviews Douglas Blackmon,
the Atlanta bureau chief of The Wall Street
Journal , about his latest book, Slavery by Another
Name , which looks at an "age of neoslavery" that thrived from
the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II.
And Moyers gets perspective from historical and cultural
sociologist Orlando Patterson and Glenn C. Loury, an economist and
expert on race and social division.
