Slavery in Louisiana - a Visit to Whitney Plantation In today's episode, we learn about slavery in Louisiana. We visit Whitney Plantation, located in Wallace, LA 40 miles West of New Orleans. The Whitney is the only plantation whose primary focus is on the slaves who worked, lived, and died along this stretch of the Mississippi River. My guest today is Joy Banner, Director of Marketing at Whitney. Joy is also a native of the nearby community and is a descendant of the slaves at Whitney. On today's show, you'll learn... About the people who were kidnapped, sold into slavery, and came to work at the Whitney and other plantations along River Road. You'll meet some of the slaves and hear their surprising connections to modern day New Orleanians. You'll gain insight into the conditions they endured, and what plantation life was like for the enslaved. Most plantations along River Road were sugar plantations, so you'll also learn about the process of making granulated sugar on a plantation. "We ask African Americans to get over it, but we don't really understand what the it is.” - John Cummings, owner of Whitney Plantation Resources Whitney Plantation - located in Wallace, LA 40 miles West of New Orleans. For more information about Whitney Plantation, visit their website. Thank You Thanks to Joy Banner for welcoming my wife and I to Whitney Plantation. Joy took us around the grounds on a day when they were closed, patiently answered all of our questions, then made time two days later for the interview.

À Port-au-Prince, l'enrôlement des enfants dans les gangs inquiète. Selon plusieurs rapports d'organisations locales et internationales, entre 40 et 50 % des membres des groupes armés sont des mineurs vulnérables. Une triste réalité qui pourtant prend de l'ampleur face à la passivité des autorités en place. C'est un reportage de notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama. À Port-au-Prince, et dans plusieurs quartiers populaires, les enfants sont de plus en plus nombreux à rejoindre les rangs des gangs armés. Une situation inquiétante que dénonce Shelve Bély, coordinateur du bureau national de défense des droits des enfants et des femmes. « Les gangs armés, dans leur volonté de grossir leurs rangs, recrutent des enfants en bas âge. Ils leur font croire que le gang représente leur avenir, alors que ce n'est pas vrai. Ce sont des enfants qui devraient être à l'école. Les bandits leur font croire que, lorsqu'ils ont une arme en main, ils sont des chefs. Pourtant, ils ne font que détruire leur avenir en les poussant à tuer des innocents. »Les enfants considèrent les chefs de gang comme des modèlesSelon Lucmane Sainril, président de l'Initiative citoyenne pour la défense des droits des enfants, dans certains ghettos, les chefs de gangs sont devenus les principaux modèles pour les enfants. « Ces enfants des ghettos ne voient rien d'autre que les armes. Chaque jour, ils côtoient les gangs, qu'ils considèrent parfois comme leurs propres parents. Ils n'ont pas d'autres modèles que ces chefs de gangs qui manipulent des millions chaque jour et circulent à bord de voitures luxueuses. Déjà fortement influencés, il est très difficile pour ces enfants de penser à l'école, alors même qu'on dit souvent que l'école, c'est l'avenir. » Si certains enfants et adolescents sont attirés par les gangs, d'autres y sont pourtant contraints. Dans certains cas, des parents épuisés et démunis n'ont ni les moyens ni l'autorité nécessaires pour empêcher leurs enfants d'y entrer.Selon les chiffres de l'Unicef ou d'ONG comme Save the Children, le nombre d'enfants qui sont membres de gangs en Haïti avoisine les 50 %. Comment protéger les mineurs du recrutement dans les gangs alors que ceux-ci contrôlent 85 % de la capitale ? Comment libérer et réintégrer les enfants enrôlés alors que 700 000 personnes sont déplacées à cause de l'insécurité ? Autant de questions qui restent toujours sans réponse de la part du gouvernement haïtien, selon notre correspondant Peterson Luxama.La Chine renforce sa présence économique en Amazonie avec ses « nouvelles routes de la soie »Depuis plusieurs années, la Chine étend ses « nouvelles routes de la soie » jusqu'en Amérique du Sud, avec en vitrine le port de Chancay au Pérou, inauguré en 2023. Mais c'est en Amazonie brésilienne que se joue un projet d'une toute autre envergure : Pékin cofinance un vaste réseau de routes terrestres et fluviales pour acheminer plus rapidement soja, minerais et métaux rares vers le Pacifique. Pour l'économiste Rubia Wagner, de l'Université fédérale de Rio de Janeiro, « la stratégie d'approvisionnement de la Chine ne sera complète que si les Chinois contrôlent aussi la logistique ».Cinq grands axes sont en projet, dont la « route Amazone », censée relier Manaus à plusieurs ports du littoral pacifique. Le projet Arco Norte, lui, vise à connecter les fermes du nord du Brésil – qui produisent près de 70 % du soja du pays – à ce réseau. Routes bitumées, chemins de fer, ports fluviaux : les travaux nécessitent une déforestation massive. « Il n'y a pas d'études sur les impacts pour les communautés autochtones ni d'évaluations environnementales claires », alerte Rubia Wagner, qui s'inquiète aussi de la prolifération des activités illégales le long de ces nouvelles voies.Malgré les alertes, le gouvernement de Lula soutient pleinement ce projet, qu'il considère comme un levier de développement. Selon Rubia Wagner, « Lula est surtout préoccupé par la croissance économique. Ces plans de routes datent de la dictature. La Chine ne fait que s'y insérer, car tout était déjà prêt. » Pékin a investi plus de 66 milliards de dollars au Brésil en dix ans, en grande partie dans l'énergie, l'extraction et les infrastructures. Pour l'Amazonie, le coût environnemental de ce partenariat est encore difficile à mesurer — mais il pourrait être irréversible, estime la spécialiste.À lire aussiLa Chine développe aussi ses «nouvelles routes de la soie» dans l'Amazonie brésilienneCinq opposants vénézuéliens exfiltrés vers les États-UnisIls étaient réfugiés à l'ambassade d'Argentine à Caracas. Ils sont désormais en sécurité aux États-Unis. C'est le secrétaire d'État Marco Rubio qui a annoncé la nouvelle, saluant ce qu'il appelle « une opération réussie » et qualifiant les exfiltrés de « héros de la démocratie ». Mais les circonstances de leur départ restent floues. Le Miami Herald s'interroge sur la possibilité d'un accord tacite avec le régime Maduro ? Côté chaviste, la chaîne Telesur affirme qu'un sauf-conduit a bien été négocié avec les autorités. Pour le site indépendant Tal Cual, cela pourrait être de la propagande. Il évoque une toute autre version : selon ses sources, le départ des opposants aurait été préparé en toute discrétion, en plusieurs étapes, grâce à des complicités à l'intérieur de l'administration. L'annonce officielle n'aurait été faite que lorsque tout le monde était déjà sain et sauf aux États-Unis. Selon Tal Cual, le gouvernement de Nicolás Maduro aurait été pris de court par cette exfiltration.L'administration Trump veut effacer certains récits liés à l'histoire raciale des États-Unis. C'est à lire dans le New York Times. Le gouvernement s'en prend notamment aux musées consacrés à l'histoire des Noirs. Un exemple symbolique : la Whitney Plantation, en Louisiane. Elle a vu une subvention fédérale lui être retirée, avant d'être rétablie. Un décret signé en mars par Donald Trump demande de « purger » les institutions culturelles des « idéologies inappropriées ». Une formule qui inquiète la communauté afro-américaine. Certains y voient un langage orwellien. Le Musée national de l'histoire et de la culture afro-américaines, lui, dément toute pression politique, même si des rumeurs circulent. Et dans le projet de budget 2026, plusieurs aides financières essentielles aux musées sont appelées à disparaître. Face à cela, des historiens, des conservateurs rappellent que l'histoire noire est une part fondamentale du récit américain. Mais certains intellectuels afro-américains soutiennent la démarche de Donald Trump : selon eux, revenir sans cesse sur les blessures du passé ne fait qu'alimenter les divisions.Journal de la 1ère2024, une année « à oublier » pour l'économie martiniquaise.

"The history of New Orleans is filled with colorful characters, from pirates and priests to musicians, authors and artists…but if you ask anyone who the most notorious individual in the history of the city is, they're gonna tell you, its the infamous Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie." Madame Delphine LaLaurie was a wealthy socialite in 19th-century New Orleans, infamous for the horrific treatment of enslaved people in her mansion. In 1834, a fire at her Royal Street home led to the discovery of tortured individuals, solidifying her reputation as one of the city's most sinister figures. Today, the LaLaurie Mansion stands as one of the most haunted and infamous buildings in the French Quarter. Though privately owned and not open to the public, it remains a focal point on ghost tours, drawing visitors intrigued by its dark history. Go check out the real estate listing for the LaLaurie Mansion! Vist the Whitney Plantation, a site dedicated to educating the public about the history and legacies of slavery in the United States.

It's an election year, and lawmakers in Baton Rouge spent a lot of time this spring discussing ways to change Louisiana's voting system. One driving force behind a lot of the discussion was Secretary of State Nancy Landry. Landry, a Republican, has said that Louisiana elections are secure and well-run. Still she supported over 11 bills this session as part of her ‘election integrity package', that include a ban on ranked-choice voting, tighter rules around absentee ballots and the creation of a new ‘division of election integrity' within her department. She joins us for more on how these changes will impact voting in November.Juneteenth is just around the corner, and the Whitney Plantation in Wallace, Louisiana is gearing up for its second annual Juneteenth Freedom Festival. Director of education Erika Hernandez tells us for more on the significance of celebrating the liberation from slavery in a space where it was once the law of the land.Last week, we reported on two schools in New Orleans that not only closed for the summer, but closed for good. But in Jackson, Mississippi, the number is even higher, as 11 public schools have permanently shut their doors. The Gulf States Newsroom's Maya Miller went to the now-shuttered Wingfield High School's graduation where parents felt a mix of joy and uncertainty.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

“What if I were to have someone who looked like me, worried about my mental health when I was a child? How much better of a human would I be now? How many of those internal doubts that I had would be eliminated? And I wanted to be one of those people who really drove the conversation and utilized every ounce of my influence to really create something that can revolutionize what's accessible in terms of mental health.” - Dr. Russell Ledet MD PHD MBA On December 14, 2019, 15 African American medical students from Tulane University School of Medicine posed in front of a former slave cabin at the Whitney Plantation in Edgard, Louisiana, while donning their white coats. “We are truly our ancestors' wildest dreams,” said a tweet of one of the photos. The image went viral and multiple national news outlets picked up the story. The students formed The 15 White Coats organization, a nonprofit group with a threefold mission: To reimagine cultural imagery in learning spaces, lessen the financial burden of medical school for applicants of color, and influence cultural literacy in learning spaces. Donations and the sale of photographs and posters allow The 15 White Coats to distribute their photos to classrooms across the U.S., establish scholarships, and more. Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer welcomes Dr. Russell Ledet, MD, PhD, MBA to talk about the barriers and doubts he faced as a black man and aspiring physician along his journey from security guard to MD PhD MBA. Specifically, Dr. Ledet shines light on the disadvantages that medical school applicants from marginalized communities face. In recognition of how important it is to have role models, Dr. Ledet encourages listeners to take action. He is receiving national recognition for starting 15 White Coats. Dr. Ledet talks about his journey from being in the military to becoming a security guard to realizing that he could go to college, and eventually to medical school after earning his PhD at NYU. He is a native of Lake Charles, Louisiana. Dr. Ledet earned his bachelors degree from Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College at Baton Rouge. He earned his PhD in Molecular Oncology from NYU School of Medicine, Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences. He earned his MD and MBA from Tulane University. He is a Triple Board Resident (Pediatrics/Psychiatry/Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) at Indiana University School of Medicine. LinkedIn: Dr. Russell J.

Happy Juneteenth! Today marks the second year that Juneteenth, a day celebrating the effective end of slavery in the United States, will be commemorated as a federal holiday. And it's a day to celebrate! To mark the occasion, we brought on our friend and expert Yvonne Holden, Director of Visitor Experience and Operations at the Whitney Plantation outside of New Orleans, Louisana, which is one of the only plantation museums in the country to focus on the lives of the enslaved. Yvonne helps us understand the history behind the holiday, and the larger story of what the day stands for—both on the very day in 1865 when the enslaved community in Galveston, TX first learned of their freedom, and today, when the history and legacy of institutionalized slavery aren't always told. Yvonne also invites us into the ways we can celebrate Juneteenth today, both through education and the opportunity to practice joy in the midst of our implication.

Ahmad Ward is the Executive Director for Hilton Head Island's Historic Mitchelville Park. If you've never heard of Mitchelville, then prepare for an eye-opening history lesson. Established in 1862, a year before Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, it was the first self-governed town of formerly enslaved people in the United States. In this episode, Ahmad shares how his five-year plan to exit the world of museums was quickly discarded when he began interviewing for a role at Mitchelville Freedom Park while on vacation in New Orleans. How a moving visit to the Whitney Plantation, the only Louisiana plantation that centers the experiences of the enslaved population, helped shape his ideas for the project. Plus, Ahmad and Esme discuss how to communicate hard topics in a palatable way, creating spaces for authentic expression and respectful listening, and the ongoing important work of highlighting Mitchelville, a piece of American history that deserves to be widely known, honored, and celebrated. You can learn more about Mitchelville by visiting exploremitchelville.org. Learn more about Full-Time Travel by visiting fulltimetravel.co and follow us on Instagram @full_time_travel.

I'd like to talk about racial justice, disaster recovery, and the pandemic with some of the experts I've been honored to get to know these past 2 years. Let me introduce them: Joy Banner, Ph.D. is the Director of Media and Marketing at Whitney Plantation. She is a native, and resident of Wallace, LA and a descendant of Whitney Plantation. Inspired both by Whitney Plantation's mission and her desire to help her largely descendant community, Joy returned home to advocate for economic and environmental rights. Joy has recently started the first chapter of “Coming To The Table”, an organization aimed at addressing the legacies of slavery by bringing together descendants of the enslaved and their enslavers. Felicia Henry is a licensed social worker and a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware, where she is also a Bill Anderson Fund Fellow. Monica Sanders is the managing director of the Georgetown University Environmental Justice Program. She is the founder of "The Undivide Project", an organization dedicated to addressing the legal and policy changes needed to address the intersections between digital and climate equity. She also teaches Law, Policy and Practice in Disasters and Complex Emergencies at the Georgetown Law Center.
This week, we hear from experts at the Whitney Plantation and Monticello -- two tourist sites that are at the frontlines of contemporary discussions about the experiences of enslaved people and the role of slavery in the United States. Dr. Joy Banner, Director of Communications at the Whitney Plantation in Louisiana, describes how the site has created a visitor experience that centers the lives of the enslaved people who lived on the plantation. Justin Bates, a historical interpreter at Thomas Jefferson's home of Monticello, shares how he and his colleagues teach guests about the contradictions of Jefferson's life: that he was both the drafter of the Declaration of Independence and a lifelong slave owner who espoused racist views. We hope this episode gives you some good food for thought, and we would love to hear your reactions. You can reach out by sending us a voice message or saying hello on social media. Thank you so much for listening!

On Thursday, Juneteenth was designated as a federal holiday to commemorate the effective end of slavery in the United States, just days before the June 19 anniversary. This week, to mark the occasion, we revisit our 2016 trip to the Whitney Plantation, the only plantation museum in Louisiana that focuses entirely on the lives of enslaved people. The Whitney Plantation is one of three surviving Civil War-era sugar plantations located in St. John the Baptist Parish along the Mississippi River. There, we join Director of Research at Whitney Dr. Ibrahima Seck, who gives us a personal tour of the property. We make our first stop at a restored nineteenth century Baptist church, where we learn about slavery as viewed through the eyes of children. Not far from the church, Dr. Seck brings us to a large monument engraved with names and information about the enslaved individuals who lived at Whitney. We also step into one of the site's 22 cabins and tour the oldest detached kitchen in Louisiana, making our final stop at the big house where the Haydel family lived. Following our visit to the plantation, we speak with Sybil Haydel Morial—educator, activist and former First Lady of New Orleans—who learned later in life of her family's connection to the Whitney Plantation. Sybil chronicled her breadth of experience during the civil rights era and the years that followed in her memoir, Witness to Change.

If a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, how many miles will it take for reparations for America's enslaved descendants to find a home? Backed by Analog Players Society and Masta Ace's debut hit, Home In America, Erika and Whitney do a deep dive into their first season's journey and uncover shades of gray and pain in their unusual black and white partnership. But first, a Lord Of The Rings, epic-remix, monologue tells the story of the long, harrowing journey begun by reparations pioneers long ago. Then a new playlist is created to entice their favorite reparations warriors, and opponents, to reappear and bear witness to their reparations journey today. While the pair revisit their best hits, the duo is encouraged to make an all-out sprint toward their season's final destination, slavery's home, The Whitney Plantation in southern Louisiana. And, like the haunted place inspired by Toni Morrison's mythological "Sweet Home," this plantation tells the story from the slave's point of view. Finally, the pair retrace their steps, only to find themselves at the beginning of the end, in the mother of all lands, the great continent of Africa. Now in the belly of the beast, at the Cape Coast slave dungeons, they ask the ultimate question, can America go through the door of no return and come out the other side, whole? Or will America's impractical arrangement and immoral history destroy its own home from the inside out? “Home in America” is by Analog Players Society and Masta Ace, produced by Ben Rubin. The single will be released on all platforms on June 18 by Ropeadope Records." "'Home in America" features NYC jazz greats: tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin (David Bowie/Blackstar), pianist Orrin Evans (the Bad Plus), bassist Dezron Douglas (Ravi Coltrane), and drummer Eric McPherson (Fred Hersch Trio). https://www.analogplayerssociety.com/ https://benrubin.com/ https://www.mastaace.com/ https://ropeadope.lnk.to/HomeinAmerica For more info about this episode, please visit https://reparationsbigpayback.com Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

À l’occasion des 20 ans du vote de la loi dite Taubira, on repart en voyage un pied en Amérique, l’autre en Angleterre, à la découverte de lieux qui ont décidé de s’emparer de l’histoire de l’esclavage, une mémoire indispensable pour mieux comprendre les enjeux et soubresauts du monde actuel. Le 10 mai 2001, quand l’Assemblée Nationale et le Sénat adoptent, à l’unanimité, la loi reconnaissant l’esclavage en tant que crime contre l’humanité, plus connue sous le nom de loi Taubira, du nom de la députée de la 1e circonscription de Guyane et ex-Garde des Sceaux Christiane Taubira, qui a porté et défendu ardemment ce texte, le crime est enfin qualifié. L’article 2 de cette loi porte, lui, sur l’enseignement et le partage de cette mémoire liée à la traite négrière qui, du XVIe siècle au XIXe siècle, aura fait plus de 13 millions de victimes et arraché à leurs terres des millions d’Africains, partis notamment rejoindre de force les plantations ou habitations sucrières de l’autre côté de l’océan Atlantique. Depuis 2006, le 10 mai marque aussi la Journée des mémoires de la traite négrière, de l’esclavage et leurs abolitions. Et nous à Si loin si proche, cela fait plusieurs années que l’on s’invite à notre manière, en voyage, sur «les lieux du crime», au cœur de cette nécessité impérieuse de raconter et partager cette histoire et ces mémoires. Pour les 20 ans de cette loi historique, on vous propose de réécouter un voyage qui nous a emmené de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique, à la découverte d’institutions culturelles, toutes deux situées dans des territoires qui ont bâti leur prospérité et leur richesse sur la traite transatlantique et qui aujourd’hui ont décidé de regarder ce passé en face. Voyage et reportages entre le Musée International de l'Esclavage de Liverpool, ouvert en 2007 en Angleterre, et la Whitney Plantation, musée à ciel ouvert de l'esclavage situé dans une ancienne plantation de Louisiane, au Sud des États-Unis, inaugurée en 2015. Un reportage réalisé en en 2016, de Sarah Lefèvre à Liverpool et de Cerise Maréchaud en Louisiane
In recent years, there’s been a movement to remove statues of Confederate leaders and other monuments that some see as celebrations of America’s racist history. But does taking down these statues help address the racial inequities that plague our nation to this day? Or is it just erasing history? In his forthcoming book How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning With the History of Slavery Across America, author Clint Smith tackles these and other questions around what our public monuments say -- or, sometimes, fail to say -- about America’s past. He and Lindsay discuss such landmarks as Monticello, the Whitney Plantation, and the Statue of Liberty, and explore the different meanings they have for different Americans, especially in our present moment of racial reckoning.For more on Clint Smith: https://www.clintsmithiii.com/ Listen to new episodes 1 week early and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.

What does it take to create a museum? How can a museum help visitors grapple with a very uncomfortable aspect of their nation’s past? Ibrahima Seck, a member of the History Department at the University Cheikh Anta Diop in Dakar, Senegal, author of the book, Bouki Fait Gombo: A History of the Slave Community of Habitation Haydel (Whitney Plantation) Louisiana, 1750-1860, and the Director of Research of the Whitney Plantation museum, leads us on a behind-the-scenes tour of Whitney Plantation and through the history of slavery in early Louisiana.

Content Note: This episode contains discussions of slavery, racism, sexual assault, harassment, hate crimes, violence, abuse, murder, and more. We start off by discussing a gruesome lynching that happens in the miniseries, and we also talk about modern events of white supremacy and violence against Black people. It’s a heavy discussion. We think it was worth having, but we wanted you to be prepared. Nuance Vivian joins us to talk about a miniseries that made her think a lot about her own experiences as a mixed race person, Alex Haley’s Queen. This discussion is a lot more serious than our usual episodes, and as there’s a lot to unpack, we’re breaking it into two parts. This is Part 2.Nuance plays a cleric in the actual play podcast Fast Times at D&D High, and she’s on staff for some Boston area LARPS. She’s @Shadowravyn on Twitter. Image Description: Danny Glover as Alec Haley and Halle Berry as Queen on their wedding day. Alex Haley’s Queen is a three part miniseries based on a novel about Alex Haley’s grandmother, who was the daughter of a Black slave woman and a white plantation owner man. The story follows her from birth through old age and covers the entire second half of the 19th century. Nuance brought up a few things including:Soujourner Truth’s famous speech from the 1851 Women’s Convention, which may not have been delivered in the way people most often assume. The WGN series Underground, featuring Jurnee Smollett as another light skinned Black person working for white people. The Whitney Plantation is not far from New Orleans. You can visit and learn about the experiences of slaves who lived there. If you want to hear Nuance discussing something lighter, she discussed Garfield’s Halloween Adventure with us as a paid subscriber bonus just a few days ago! We were relieved to find that though it was spooky, it was much less horrifying than Garfield’s Thanksgiving was…If you’re having fun listening to us, please tell your friends about us!

Content Note: This episode contains discussions of slavery, racism, sexual assault, harassment, hate crimes, violence, abuse, murder, and more. We start off by discussing a gruesome lynching that happens in the miniseries, and we also talk about modern events of white supremacy and violence against Black people. It's a heavy discussion. We think it was worth having, but we wanted you to be prepared.

Dr. Russell Ledet has an incredible story of struggle and triumph. Before his PhD and Medical School, as a child, Dr. Ledet often wondered where his next meal would come from. Raised by a single mother who encouraged reading and learning, Dr. Ledet found a way out of poverty. After serving in the military, Dr. Ledet capitalized on education and set his eyes on a PhD from NYU and is currently a medical student at Tulane School of Medicine. After getting an opportunity to visit the Whitney Plantation in Wallace, Louisiana, Dr. Ledet realized the magnitude of how far his people have come. This inspired a return trip to the plantation with 14 other Doctors where a monumental photo was captured and an organization was born. Dr. Ledet is co-founder of The 15 White Coats, an organization who's mission is to "Re-imagine cultural imagery in learning spaces, lessen the financial burden of applying to medical school for applicants of color, and to influence cultural literacy in learning spaces".You can follow Dr. Ledet on Twitter @theguywithyes and on Instagram @theguywithyesFollow The 15 White Coats on Twitter @the15whitecoatsFollow Chips and Walk Podcast on Instagram @chipsandwalk and on Twitter @chipswalk
Depuis la mort tragique de George Floyd à Minneapolis, le 25 mai 2020, des voix et des poings se lèvent à travers le monde, pour réclamer plus de justice et d’égalité raciale. Si aux États-Unis, la lutte anti-raciste et le mouvement «Black Lives Matter» viennent interroger les fondements de la société américaine, le débat qui surgit plus largement autour du passé colonial et esclavagiste nous parlent à tous, Blancs ou Noirs, racisés ou non. À Si loin si proche, nous interrogeons de longue date l’histoire noire des cités du monde, dans le cadre de séries spécifiques et de voyages, notamment sur la route des droits civiques aux États-Unis, celle du chemin de fer clandestin au Canada, ou encore celle de l’esclavage dans les Caraïbes ou la côte atlantique française dans les ports esclavagistes de Nantes ou Bordeaux... Et en 2016, nous étions partis de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique, à la découverte de sites culturels et touristiques qui ont décidé de regarder l’histoire de l'esclavage en face. D’un côté, le Musée International de l'Esclavage de Liverpool, en Angleterre, ouvert en 2007 et de l’autre, la Whitney Plantation, musée à ciel ouvert de l'esclavage situé dans une ancienne plantation de Louisiane, au Sud des États-Unis qui, depuis 2015, offre un autre point de vue sur la Route des Plantations parsemée de belles maisons des planteurs de coton et de canne à sucre, qui ont longtemps raconté aux visiteurs l’histoire du Vieux Sud, uniquement du point de vue de ses riches propriétaires. À leur manière, ces deux sites font office de pionniers. En effet, le musée de Liverpool est le premier musée national du genre au monde et celui de Louisiane, le premier des États-Unis uniquement consacré à cette page sombre de l'histoire. Tous deux ont aussi la particularité d'être situés dans des régions ou des villes qui ont bâti leur prospérité et leur richesse sur la traite transatlantique. Afin de nourrir la réflexion et le débat actuel sur comment assumer et transmettre cette histoire pour mieux interroger les stigmates laissés dans le sillage des bateaux dits «négriers» sur nos sociétés contemporaines, nous vous proposons de réentendre ce voyage, un pied en Amérique, l’autre en Europe. Un reportage de Sarah Lefèvre à Liverpool et de Cerise Maréchaud en Louisiane, réalisé en 2016.

This week, Louisiana Eats celebrates Juneteenth—the day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. We revisit our 2016 trip to the Whitney Plantation, the only plantation museum in Louisiana that focuses entirely on the lives of enslaved people. The vision for the museum originated with attorney and developer John Cummings, who invested millions of dollars to help educate the public about the truths of slavery in Louisiana. The Whitney Plantation is one of three surviving Civil War-era sugar plantations located in St. John the Baptist Parish along the Mississippi River. There, we join Director of Research at Whitney Dr. Ibrahima Seck, who gives us a personal tour of the property. We make our first stop at a restored nineteenth century Baptist church, where we learn about slavery as viewed through the eyes of children. Not far from the church, Dr. Seck brings us to a large monument engraved with names and information about the enslaved individuals who lived at Whitney. We also step into one of the site's 22 cabins and tour the oldest detached kitchen in Louisiana, making our final stop at the big house where the Haydel family lived. Following our visit to the plantation, we speak with Sybil Haydel Morial—educator, activist and former First Lady of New Orleans—who learned later in life of her family’s connection to the Whitney Plantation. Sybil chronicled her breadth of experience during the civil rights era and the years that followed in her memoir, Witness to Change. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.
A trip to the Whitney Plantation in Louisiana initially set out to serve as a history lesson between a daughter and father. Who knew it would spark a movement after a photo of 15 black Tulane Medical Students went viral, an idea sparked by Dr. Russell Ledet, Co-Founder and President of what is now known as The 15 White Coats. Myself and Dr. Ledet have a therapy session the first hour of the pod where we discuss our frustration with being black in America over the past few weeks with the death of #GeorgeFloyd, #BreannaTaylor and other unfortunate deaths of black people at the bloody hands of police. We then discuss how The 15 White Coats was created, its intended purpose and how it serves as a representation of inspiration and hope for the next generation of children to pursue medical careers.

It is crazy how much history can be rooted into one location. A century ago, the plantations in Southern Louisiana operated under the forced labor of slaves. Fast forward some years, and the descendants of the slaves suffer from environmental injustices due to the surrounding petrochemical plants. And now, in 2020, the residents in these areas suffer from the compounding impacts of slavery, environmental injustices, and the health consequences of the pandemic. Join us in this conversation with Joy Banner, the Director of Media and Marketing at Whitney Plantation, Sophie Kasakove, a freelance reporter based in New Orleans, and Ashley Rogers, the Executive Director of Whitney Plantation, to learn more. Their information can be found here: https://www.whitneyplantation.org/contact/ and https://psmag.com/author/sophie-kasakove.
Russell J. Ledet hails from Lake Charles, Louisiana. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he attended Southern University and A&M College for his undergraduate degrees in biology and chemistry. Afterwards, he went on to complete his Ph.D. in molecular oncology at New York University. He is currently a second-year MD-MBA student at Tulane University School of Medicine and A.B. Freeman School of Business. He is the co-founder and president of 'The 15 White Coats', a non profit organization focused on helping people of color get into medical school and improving the cultural literacy of our learning spaces. In this very special episode of UnfilterED, Russell speaks candidly about his childhood, the challenges that made him the man he is today and his plans for the future, including The 15 White Coats' goal to put an individual of color through medical school debt-free.

About This Episode Today’s episode is devoted to books about New Orleans. If you’re caught up on Netflix and want to spend some time reading instead, this one’s for you. I recorded this in April 2020. Even if you are listening years from now, this will help you get to know the city better whether you are planning a trip or just wanting to stay connected with New Orleans. We’ve done 110 episodes. Talked to many authors. What (I don’t think I’ve done) is give you book recommendations. That’s what I’ll do today. Here’s what this is not. It is not a top 10 list. It’s not a comprehensive list. It’s just a list of very good books about New Orleans, across several categories. For some reason, this topic makes me nervous. Mostly because I am not good about retention and I know a lot of authors! Let’s see how it goes. This might be a recurring sub-series or it might be a one and done!

In this week’s episode of About South, we travel to St. John the Baptist Parish in Louisiana to meet with Ashley Rogers, executive director at the Whitney Plantation museum and memorial site, to discuss the history of plantation enslavement in the U.S. South. As the only plantation museum in Louisiana with a focus on slavery, its rare and vital approach in exhibiting the area’s gruesome agricultural industrial complex sheds light on one of the most painfully minimized eras of American history. About South is produced by Gina Caison, Kelly Vines, and Adjoa Danso. Jessica Parker is an assistant producer. Music is by Brian Horton. You can find his music at www.brianhorton.com.

There are hundreds of plantations in the U.S. that have been repurposed for a variety of reasons. Many are museums for tourists to visit, while others have been transformed into event spaces.

In this special edition of Louisiana Eats, we celebrate the 151st anniversary of Juneteenth the day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. We take a trip to the Whitney Plantation, the only plantation museum in America that focuses entirely on slavery. The vision for the museum originated with attorney and developer John Cummings, who invested 10 million of his own dollars to help educate the public about the truths of slavery in Louisiana. The Whitney Plantation is one of three surviving Civil War era sugar plantations located in St. John the Baptist Parish along the Mississippi River. There, we join Director of Research at Whitney Dr. Ibrahima Seck, who gives us a personal tour of the property. We make our first stop at a restored nineteenth century Baptist church, where we learn about slavery as viewed through the eyes of children. Not far from the church, Dr. Seck brings us to a large monument engraved with names and information about the enslaved individuals who lived at Whitney. We also step into a slaves quarters and tour the oldest detached kitchen in Louisiana, making our final stop at the big house where the Haydel family lived. Following our visit to the plantation, we speak with Sybil Haydel Morial educator, activist and former First Lady of New Orleans who recently learned of her family s connection to the Whitney Plantation. Sybil chronicled her breadth of experience during the civil rights era and the years that followed in her memoir, Witness to Change.
Slavery in Louisiana - a Visit to Whitney Plantation In today's episode, we learn about slavery in Louisiana. We visit Whitney Plantation, located in Wallace, LA 40 miles West of New Orleans. The Whitney is the only plantation whose primary focus is on the slaves who worked, lived, and died along this stretch of the Mississippi River. My guest today is Joy Banner, Director of Marketing at Whitney. Joy is also a native of the nearby community and is a descendant of the slaves at Whitney. On today’s show, you’ll learn... About the people who were kidnapped, sold into slavery, and came to work at the Whitney and other plantations along River Road. You’ll meet some of the slaves and hear their surprising connections to modern day New Orleanians. You’ll gain insight into the conditions they endured, and what plantation life was like for the enslaved. Most plantations along River Road were sugar plantations, so you’ll also learn about the process of making granulated sugar on a plantation. "We ask African Americans to get over it, but we don’t really understand what the it is.” - John Cummings, owner of Whitney Plantation Time Stamps 5:30 Meet our guest, Joy Banner 6:45 Where is Whitney Plantation located? 10:00 Mission of Whitney Plantation 12:00 Slaves as chattel 19:15 Habitation Haydel and the origin of Whitney Plantation 22:30 Wall of Honor 26:00 Reality of slavery 36:00 Process of making granulated sugar on a plantation 44:00 Fantasy of plantation life 46:00 The story of Anna and her descendants 50:15 Life after Emancipation 53:20 Bouki Fait Gombo Resources Whitney Plantation - located in Wallace, LA 40 miles West of New Orleans.
