Our tour guide was Jay. He arranged the visit to the Whitney Plantation, which is the only plantation tour that focuses exclusively on the experience of those enslaved. This was an audio-self guided experience and it was superbly well done. We could have easily spent more than the morning there. While difficult to hear, see and learn about the lives of those enslaved individuals who built, toiled, lived and we’re at the will of the plantation owner, it should be a must for anyone to learn about these experiences. We highly recommend taking the hours drive out to Whitney to experience this unique tour.
Jay was also our tour guide on the Cultural City experience. This was another awesome experience. Jay is very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the African American experiences, past and present in NO. Again, some of the history is difficult to hear about, but absolutely a necessary knowledge for all. Take these tours! You will not be disappointed.
