eBay has launched an investigation into the sale of documents linked to transatlantic slavery after concerns were raised about its profit from such items.
Critics argue that selling items related to slavery is unethical and accuse platforms like eBay of profiting from these historical atrocities.
Cultural historian Patrick Vernon stated that selling plantation and slave ship records is still prevalent and emphasizes the public duty to handle these materials responsibly.
There are demands for historical documents related to slavery to be placed in museums or made accessible for free to highlight their significance.
