		<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.
For this reason, I was pleased to see that Senator John McCain gave a campaign speech on Wednesday in Michigan, in which he took the importance of the British and [...]]]></description>

The story (web-only) is by Te-Ping Chen, who, as I&#8217;ve noted before, has previously written about Traces in the Providence Phoenix.
Chen&#8217;s article includes background information on Traces and quotations from an interview with producer/director Katrina Browne. She also touches on a [...]]]></description>

		<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>

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. Therefore, if the amended version is passed [...]]]></description>
