EXCERPT:
Slavery is not just the shameful stuff
of history books - not in Florida
The Palm Beach Post presents a three-part examination of slavery,
its costs and its effects - on the migrant workers, and on you
About the Series
For nine months, The Palm Beach Post explored the roots of modern-day
slavery. Reporters and photographers traveled to destitute Mexican
villages, crossed the desert with a smuggler, rode across the U.S. with
illegal immigrants, found new claims of slavery, uncovered rampant
Social Security fraud, and found that Florida's famous orange juice
comes with hidden costs.
