Surrey shop accused of racism removes image of tobacco plantation
By Christian FullerBBC News
A shop that faced racism allegations over a poster showing " broken black men" on a tobacco plantation has removed The Image .
In a video shared on Social Media on Tuesday, Misan Harriman said the signage behind The Counter at Farrants in Cobham, Surrey, was " triggering and racist".
" There is no conceivable reason it should be there, " He Said .
The Shop has since apologised for displaying The Image .
Farrants sells a selection of confectionary, greetings cards, newspapers and toys, as well as hosting its own tobacco room, which offers cigars and tobacco.
The Image appeared to show Black People working on a tobacco plantation overseen by white men, which The Store said was taken at Pinar Del Rio plantation in Cuba in 1907 - 21 years after the abolishment of slavery in the country.
But Mr Harrison, The Chairman of London's Southbank Centre and a photographer who has taken portraits of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, said that it was irrelevant if The Image actually displayed indentured servants or slaves.
" This is in A Family store. This imagery is massively triggering and racist, " He Said .
" It's an image of black men, broken black men, at a tobacco plantation with their overseers next to them. I kid you not. "
In, Farrants said: " The Image that has caused offence has been removed.
" We apologise unreservedly for any and all distress that it caused. "
A statement previously displayed next to The Image in The Shop said it was displayed to " honour, respect and recognise" those involved in the development of Havana cigars.
Surrey Police said while no formal reports had been made, officers had spoken with The Shop 's owner.
