Very interesting article. Playing devil's advocate for a minute. How can one sue a company for a legal activity that ceased 150 years ago? Slaves were property, right. Property could be legally insured.
I'm more interested in learning the names of the slaves and those whose families profited from their labor. I think that the findings will go a long way in establishing how America was built on our backs and attendant subjugation. We should use this documents to educate an America that wants to ignore this period of history, especially the Uncle Toms.
