Escape from Slavery
Francis Bok was only seven years old when he and 10 other Sudanese children of the Dinka ethnic group were taken at gunpoint and forced into slavery. Bok was the first Sudanese escaped slave to testify before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. His book, "Escape From Slavery," is considered an important record of the experience of contemporary slavery. Part of the Network against Human Trafficking Conference.
