In March 2007, People Magazine published an article titled The Last Slaves of Mississippi? which told the story of Mae Miller and her family, who were said to be held as slaves until the early 60s. I heard of the article when it was published but didn't read it. Honestly, I wasn't sure I believed it. I felt there was only an outside possibility it was for real and truthfully I may not have wanted proof.

I just read it. In light of the information in Slavery by Another Name, it now sounds plausible.
