Replacement Bodies
"The Texas sugar plantations were profitable because they depended on slave labor. Abolition crushed the industry, but the convict leasing system resurrected it in a form that can legitimately be seen as more pernicious than slavery: Slave masters had at least a nominal interest in keeping alive people whom they owned and in whom they held an economic stake.
"By contrast, when a leased inmate died in the fields, managers who had contracted with the prison system for a specific number of bodies could demand a replacement. Beyond that, as Michael Hardy wrote last year in Texas Monthly, the working conditions on the plantations in Fort Bend County, where the Sugar Land dead were discovered, were “as bad or worse than they had been on the slave plantations. Mosquito-born epidemics, frequent beatings and a lack of medical care resulted in a 3 percent annual mortality rate.”
Others got rich on their suffering.

Alice Wong’s book launch panel offers glimpse into deeply lived personal aspects of different disabilities
The anthology contains deeply personal stories by the authors focusing on their lived experiences spanning a range of disabilities.
Too often people with disabilities are stripped of virtually all of their civil rights through guardianships and conservatorships. We need robust systems for people with disabilities to get out of unnecessary conservatorships and direct their own lives.
