Read the passages carefully. Explain how modality, medium, and format in the articles as well as in the museum itself have affected your understanding of modern slavery. passage 1
"The museum has made it possible to lay out our argument about slavery from A to Z, in a sort of irrefutable package of completely documented and totally unimpeachable facts,” says CIW staff member Greg Asbed. "And when you can see the whole history and evolution of 400 years of forced labor in Florida’s fields assembled in one place, then all the false assumptions about what drives modern-day slavery just fall away. It’s not workers’ immigration status today, or a few rogue bosses, but the fact that farmworkers have always been Florida’s poorest, most powerless workers. Poverty and powerlessness is the one constant that runs like a thread through all the history. In short, you see, it’s not about who’s on the job today. It’s about the job itself. –"Modern Slavery,” Katrina vanden Heuvel

passage 2
Today, the CIW's focus is no longer uncovering cases of slavery. Instead, its aim is preventing them from happening in the first place through an initiative it calls the Fair Food Program. Participants in the program, which include 90% of tomato growers in Florida, allow CIW staff to come onto their properties and hold mandatory education sessions for all employees. The workers receive booklets that outline their rights and a hotline to call if they experience violations. The growers also agree to regular third-party inspections of their farms. When they visit, a team of auditors speaks confidentially with at least 50% of workers to ensure their rights are being respected. –"How America's ‘Ground-Zero’ for Modern Slavery Was Cleaned Up by Workers' Group,” Lisa Cohen
