As President Obama and GOP candidate Mitt Romney court Latino voters, CNN takes an In Depth look at what matters most to this diverse group, and how that will influence elections.
Author Douglas Blackmon, who wrote “Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II,” tells CNN's Don Lemon that black men were enslaved in the U.S. into the 20th century.
The book was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and is the basis of a documentary film that recently aired on PBS.
Watch here for Don Lemon's interview with descendants of a slave and a slave owner.
