In the summer of 2020, you may have heard about "Lloyd's of London", a gigantic insurance marketplace in the UK, being asked to pay reparations for their role in the "Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade".


Well in this episode I tell the story of Lloyd's of London and Britain's role in the millions of African slaves that were transported, traded and sold by the British, to British colonies through the Americas and the Caribbean Islands.



Learn about the role that the founder of Lloyd's of London, Edward Lloyd played some 300 years ago and how his and the heirs of others became wealthy from the slave trade.
