Pinterest and The Knot among other sites plan to stop promoting plantation weddings due to backlash from activists from a campaign by racial justice organization, Color of Change.
Strong Point: The plan includes removing references of plantations as well as certain verbiage. The goal is to stop romanticizing ceremonies that have a slave history tied to them.
Rashad Robinson, President for Color of Change, explains, “You have a multi-multimillion-dollar industry that makes money off of glorifying sites of human rights atrocities. For us, that’s outrageous.”
