Roots of Oppression

This is a website I highly recommend. It is a photo documentary look at oppression, slavery and racism in the United States, historically and during the 3 decades it spans. Danish author/photographer Jacob Holdt has travelled throughout the U.S. (and also other parts of the world - see his entire site), and documented it all on film, but also and just as importantly, brings a deep understanding of the human side of every story. Fascinating, and truly one of the best sites I have ever seen on the internet.
