I plan to do this project on what I think is apart of slavery borders. Slavery is seperated by race, politics, social class, etc. Slavery has been such an important part of the history and past of our lives. Slavery can be more than the average thing you think of when you think of slavery itself. Such as sex-trafficing and kidnapping. Slavery falls into the topic of borders because there is literally so many differnt things that can seperate eachother from another in slavery. Such as male vs. female slaves. Or white vs. african american slaves. Even age can play a factor when you really dig into the topic of slavery. All of my topics and sources relate to someone (my audience) depending on race, age, gender, political class.
