Iqbal: protesting child slavery

Iqbal Masih was sold at age 4 into slavery and worked 12 hour days in a Pakistani carpet factory. He escaped and became an activist for child slavery, helping to free thousands of children from 'bonded labor' before he was murdered Easter Sunday 1995.  The Minneapolis Children's Theatre Company has staged a world premire play that tells his story and it is awesome. The play is written by Jerome Hairston based on the children's novel by Francesco D'Adamo.  Read the book, and if you can, see the play.  Then you can find a way to support this really important work ending child slavery world-wide.
