More than 15 million men, women and children were victims of one of the darkest chapters of human history - the transatlantic slave trade. Last year the Church of England apologised for its role as an early investor in the unethical business and this week, it announced that it would spend around 105 million euros in communities affected by historic slavery in an attempt to reconcile for its sins.
