A scoop from GBH #News: "State Street CEO Ron O’Hanley sat before Congress as one of several banking executives grilled about their institution’s involvement in the slave trade.

When asked to raise their hands if their banks had benefited from slavery, O’Hanley kept his hands on the table in front of him — indicating that State Street had not.

But GBH News has obtained a report commissioned by State Street and completed this spring which tells a very different story." wgbh.org/news/local/2024-10-30…
