Heritage Photos: #Slavemoney #immoralslaveindustry #LehmanBrothers, whose business #empire started in the slave trade, recently admitted their part in the business of slavery. the financial services founding partners owned not one, but several enslaved Africans during the Civil War era and that, “in all likelihood,” it “profited significantly” from #slavery. “This is a sad part of our #heritage …We’re deeply apologetic … It was a terrible thing … There’s no one sitting in the United States in the year 2005, hopefully, who would ever, in a million years, defend the practice,” said Joe Polizzotto, general counsel of Lehman Brothers. by rozaymiami305
