'Weddings should be a symbol of love and unity. Plantations represent none of those things.'
The popular wedding-planning sites Pinterest and The Knot announced they are no longer promoting content for"plantation"-style weddings.
The company said it's"working to limit the distribution of this content and accounts across our platform, and continue to not accept advertisements for them." She went on to say that"plantations were spaces where black people were harmed, raped, beaten and forced to work. They're not romantic places to get married."
Pinterest told ABC News it will limit the distribution of"plantation weddings" content by changing its site's autocomplete, search recommendations, email notifications and SEO. If people search for this content, an advisory will indicate that some results may violate its policies. "Color of Change brought an issue to light about the way venues with a history of slavery describe their properties to couples," the company said."We're currently working with Color of Change to create additions to our current content guidelines that will ensure all couples feel welcomed and respected on our sites."
