Wow, what a statement!

I noticed that too. This article is disturbing in many ways. The fact that a newpaper reports on this as anything other than ranting of a crank is not a good thing. How the hell can current investors of Lehman Bros. have any connection to seven slaves owned by someone in 1850 is beyond me.

What would be remarkable is to find any business that survives to this day, from the 1850s, that did not have some connection to the slave trade.
