The Stolen Wealth of Slavery

In The Stolen Wealth of Slavery, Emmy Award-nominated journalist David Montero unveils the extensive wealth that Northern corporations amassed through the horrors of slavery from before the Civil War to the present day. He reveals the crucial role that major banks and business leaders played in financing and benefiting from enslavement, challenging the misconception that the North was uninvolved in slavery. Montero highlights how Northern investments not only sustained the institution of slavery but also financed America’s industrial growth, calling for accountability through corporate reparations for the injustices perpetrated.
