A mourning nation struggles with the aftermath of a mass shooting, and struggles to find a path forward that not only does justice to victims, but also prevents the repetition of such senseless violence in the future. It’s a story that Americans are all too familiar with. Mass shootings in the US have become so common that we reflexively refer to each occurrence as “another mass shooting.” Our vernacular exemplifies the prevalence of such tragedies: these mass shootings are not isolated events, but interconnected symptoms of a disease that ails our nation.

White landowners enslaved black Americans for at least a century after the Civil War. That's the conclusion of decades of research by historian and genealogist Antoinette Harrell, who described her findings in a series of interviews for Vice published today (Feb. 28). Harrell has uncovered numerous examples of white people in Southern states entrapping black workers into peonage slavery — slavery justified and enforced through deceptive contracts and debt, rather than claims of ownership — even though peonage was technically outlawed in the United States in 1867, four years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
