Whitney Plantation is a space dedicated to truth-telling about America’s past. Here, you’ll learn about the West Africans who built this plantation, cleared the land, and maintained its success through their forced labor. From managing the flow of the Mississippi River by constructing levees, to cultivating rice, indigo, and sugarcane, over 350 enslaved people were the foundation of the plantation’s economy. We invite you to visit and learn. #SlaveryHistory #AmericanHistory #GermanCoast #Louisia

Despite the significance of the revolt, it was almost erased from history. 📍 Today, it’s memorialized at Whitney Plantation, where @WBRZ’s @de
