(Gareth Fuller/PA via AP, File)LONDON – Britain’s National Trust, which looks after hundreds of the country’s well-loved historic sites, has detailed how dozens of its properties have links to slavery and colonialism.
Some of the places were “partly or largely funded by the proceeds of slavery,” the trust said.
The National Trust report also listed colonial writer Rudyard Kipling’s home in Sussex, southern England, and Chartwell, the family home of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
