Event to shed light on human trafficking

by Kristyne E. Demske

In an effort to help local residents realize that human trafficking isn't just something that happens in third-world countries, a local group is bringing the words of its victims to the area with a reading of "Body & Sold," a play by Deborah Lake Fortson. Presented by Soroptimist International clubs in Grosse Pointe and greater Macomb, the event is an effort to bring human trafficking to the forefront of conversations. Fortson interviewed teens, both girls and boys who were enslaved, and she took their words and then she wrote their words in dialogue. The reading will feature 10 students in the drama department of Wayne State University.
