Weirdly, I’ve been to the Whitney Plantation and Auschwitz and the tours at both were excellent. The Whitney does a very good job of centring the focus on the enslaved people and the horrors they endured rather than on how “pretty” the buildings are, which seems to be the main reason why people get married there?!! Madness.

Unfortunately, there was an Irish American there the same day who insisted on saying “the Irish were slaves too!!” (mortifying) as the incredibly patient tour guide explained the difference between slavery and indentured servants

come visit me! I'll take you to see all the racism. There's a direct flight to Indy now, too, and if you aimed for September we could do FALL things like, er, go to pumpkin patches and the likes
