Exclusive: research shows mostly private schools given equivalent of tens of millions of pounds of donations by British slavers
Some of Britain’s most elite schools benefited from slavery through substantial donations and endowments worth the equivalent of tens of millions of pounds today, research has found.
Eton college, Christ’s Hospital school and Liverpool’s Blue Coat grammar are among the 29 schools still operating that have significant documented links to donations from people who profited from slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries.
