Ona Judge: Preferred suffering in freedom than plenty in US Presidency, by Owei Lakemfa

Stories like that of David and Goliath teach moral lessons especially about victory not necessarily going to the mighty and powerful. The  freedom battles between a sitting United States President  and, a slave girl he owned, are no less intriguing.

In the past, not many people knew anything about the Department of State Services (DSS) formerly known as the State Security Service (SSS). The few who knew something about the organization merely called it, government spy or the Secret Police because it reportedly operated in secrecy, wearing hoods and silencing anti-establishment critics.
