Companies that issued insurance policies to slaveholders named in California report
By DEBORAH KONG, AP Minority Issues Writer
SAN FRANCISCO - Insurance companies that issued policies to slaveholders are being revealed by the California Department of Insurance in an effort activists say could bolster the case for reparations for descendants of slaves.
The department planned to release a report Wednesday listing the names of eight insurance companies that issued policies to slave owners, said Leslie Tick, the agency's senior staff counsel. The department also was to make available a database with the names of about 600 insured slaves and about 400 slaveholders.

Report names slaves, owners and insurers
By V. Dion Haynes
LOS ANGELES -- Seeking to shed light on an infamous chapter in the nation's history, California's insurance commissioner on Wednesday released a report on slave insurance that names some 433 slaveholders who purchased policies, 614 slaves who were covered and three insurers that sold coverage.
Prompted by a California law in 2000 that mandates all insurance companies operating in the state to open their archives, the report is expected not only to provide crucial details about slavery to historians and genealogists but also add momentum to the controversial reparations movement.
