America's Great Wealth Was Built Off Slavery

America
Posted By: Ebony Tillman on March 27, 2006


Chicago along with Detroit, Philadelphia, Oakland and Berkley, has recently passed the Slave Era Disclousre Ordinance . The city of New York has it in committee. This ordiance requires companies who want to do business with the cities must disclose if thier company or any predecessor company has ties to the slave instution. JP Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers and Wachovia are a few companies to admit their ties.
What do y'all think about all this.

Historic ties to slavery. JP Morgan Chase documented hundreds of slaves used as collateral.
