Slavery Then and Now: Coercion Wears Different Labels
SLAVERY THEN AND NOW by Andy Singer, politicalcartoons.com
A NO EXIT two-panel strip compares plantation slavery to modern agricultural labor. Past: pick cotton or get beaten to death. Present: pick fruit or get fired and starve. Singer's choice framing rebrands coercion as freedom while the underlying compulsion remains identical.
