		<description><![CDATA[Few in the United States have taken the opportunity to acknowledge, much less to commemorate, the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the U.S. slave trade in 1808.

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve noted previously, this year marks the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the U.S. slave trade. Thomas Jefferson&#8217;s ban on the slave trade on U.S. ships, and to U.S. ports, took effect on January 1, 1808. And Britain&#8217;s own ban, which was enacted mere weeks after Jefferson signed the U.S. prohibition into law, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, January 1, 2008, marks the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the U.S. slave trade. The outlawing of the U.S. slave trade, along with the parallel prohibition by Great Britain (passed only weeks after the U.S. acted), was an important milestone in the history of the abolition of slavery. While enforcement efforts were mixed, [...]]]></description>

However, before the bill was passed, Sen.Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) objected to funding the commission, and so the bill&#8217;s authorization for funding was stripped out.
