Kamala Harris's link to Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown
Update: 2024-08-20
Description
We explore a family link acknowledged by Kamala Harris's father, to Hamilton Brown. Brown travelled from Ireland to Jamaica in the 1700s to work as a bookkeeper. He acquired several plantations farmed by enslaved people. As momentum built to abolish the trade, Brown strove to undermine the abolitionist cause and was paid considerable compensation.
