March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a decision in the case of Dred Scott, a freed black man who was captured in the north and jailed, while his white captors attempted to sell him into slavery.  The courts ruled that a black man had no rights a white man was bound to respect. Any black person could be subjected to slavery, whether living in a free state or not. March 6, 2017 marks the 160th anniversary of that decision. Have things  changed 160 years later?  Can blacks still be subjected to enslavement (imprisonment)? Do blacks in America still have no rights a white is bound to respect?
