My mother, Patience Wilberforce, passed away recently, and with her loss I have reflected deeply on the decision she made all those years ago.

In 2008, Congress passed the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victim Protection Reauthorization Act, or TVPRA, which provides enhanced protections for children—including immigrant children—who are particularly vulnerable to trafficking and exploitation.

Mark Wilberforce is a freelance journalist based in London and Accra.

Nearby Wilberforce, home to Central State University, was also hit with deadly force.

Wilberforce, Cedarville and Selma were hit along the way.
