TAKE ME BACK TUESDAYS - THE WHITNEY PLANTATION

 
Picture
In 2016, I was excited to travel to Louisiana! Although I was amped to go to Mardi Gras, the thing that excited me the most was the opportunity to visit the Whitney. The Whitney Plantation is a museum located outside of New Orleans that is dedicated to preserving the history of what my enslaved ancestors endured in America. Set on a Louisiana sugarcane plantation, it features original slave cabins, a freedman's church and memorials to commemorate those whose lives were lost. When I hear people like Kanye say that "slavery was a choice", it infuriates me. Not because of the smug and profound ignorance necessary to conclude something so erroneous, but because spaces like the Whitney are accessible for anyone who would desire to educate themselves. Visiting gave me a new appreciation for history. Read on to see pictures I took and to learn more.
