Charles Jacobs

Dr. Jacobs is co-founder and president of the American Anti-Slavery Group. In 1993, along with Christian and Muslim Africans, Jacobs founded the AASG in response to the mainstream human rights community’s unwillingness to confront modern-day black slavery in Africa.

Jacobs has been published in the Boston Globe, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and has written a section on modern-day slavery in the Encyclopedia Brittanica. He has also appeared on CNN, NPR, and PBS.
