Following a viral TikTok video, Airbnb removed a listing for a former “slave cabin” in Mississippi. Wynton Yates, a Black lawyer from New Orleans, posted screen grabs of the listing, which was called “The Panther Burn Cottage at Belmont Plantation.” According to the screenshots, the structure was described as an “1830s slave cabin” and also used as a “tenant sharecroppers cabin.” 

“This is not OK in the least bit,” said Yates in his post. “How is this OK in somebody’s mind to rent this out … a place where human beings were kept as slaves, rent this out as a bed and breakfast?”
