African Slavery Case Still Waiting for Justice
filed against New York Life Insurance
Company for injustices dating back to
the 19th century resulted in
unreasonably different outcomes.
A class action lawsuit, filed against New
York Life Insurance Company by Blacks
whose African ancestors were enslaved
in the United States under the company's
insurance policies, was dismissed on
January 26, 2004.
Just three (3) days later, on February 1,
2004, a similar case, filed by Whites
whose Armenian ancestors held policies
and were genocide victims under the
Ottoman Empire, was settled with New
York Life for $20 million.
The slavery case was refiled on April 5,
2004, and the plaintiffs are still awaiting
the outcome.
Descendants of enslaved Africans are
demanding that since New York Life gave
justice to one group for its historical
wrongdoing, that it give justice to all!

New York Life Insurance Company, once called Nautilus Insurance, wrote this
policy to insure the life of enslaved African Robert Moody for one year in 1847
while he worked in a Virginia coal pit. Of the first 1000 policies written by
Nautilus Insurance, 1/3 financed the enslavement of African people.
