MSJ leader David Abdulah<\/a>MOVEMENT for Social Justice (MSJ) political leader David Abdulah said slavery continues today in different forms.<\/p>\n

He made the statement in his Emancipation Day message to the nation.<\/p>\n

He said the MSJ “deplores the fact that our education system is so deficient in the teaching of our real history \u2013 the history of the struggle \u201cout of slavery, through indenture and up to freedom.\u201d

He claimed this reality is not accidental. “Those who control economic, social and political power, who were described by a great Caribbean thinker, Professor Rex Nettleford, as ‘the historical plantocracy, the enduring commission agency class, and the newly arrived technocracy’ \u2013 do not wish the masses to know their history.”
