JP Morgan admits US slavery links

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4193797.stm

Thousands of slaves were accepted as collateral for loans by two banks that later became part of JP Morgan Chase.

The admission is part of an apology sent to JP Morgan staff after the bank researched its links to slavery in order to meet legislation in Chicago. <snip>

Great news.

Barclays Bank is next. We will collect our reparations.
