You might have heard a saying or something similar to it when boys play at break at school. The one boy is being harassed by three other boys and the one being harassed and threatened says … “Touch me, touch my brother.” He has an elder brother at school and as a means of protecting […]
The concept of slavery has been around from far distant ancient periods … including the times of our forefathers as recorded in the Bible, throughout the New Testament and right up to today in 2023!
