Take a tour of the Laura Plantation in Louisiana in the Louisiana River Parishes. It is a great place to start for a historical overview when trying to educate ourselves on what it was like to be a Slave in the South. Much of the history of this plantation was taken from my own experience and Laura Locoul Gore's "Memories of the Old Plantation Home" -- Find the book here: bit.ly/3Bf4GJf
There is a detailed guide about the Laura Plantation Tour on my website check it out here: culturetrekking.com/laura-pla...

Hi! Welcome to the Culture Trekking Community! My name is Janiel Green, a Physician Assistant, Scuba Diver, Dog lover, Photographer, and Videographer! I love to make people smile, am known for not beating around the bush (unless it is in my garden). I also tend to say it as I see it before my brain can tell me it's probably not socially acceptable to do so. My spirit animal is a Sea Turtle, I hate mushrooms, and don’t trust a man who lays on the romance too thick.
I love to travel the world, connect with different cultures, and find sustainable adventure. I have explored the most off-the-beaten-path places, and cultures throughout the world.
With over a decade of professional photography experience, and a self-taught videographer and editor. I also want to teach you a few tricks of the trade to make better travel videos, and take better travel photos - even if you are a solo traveler.
Most of all, I want to help you, my Culture Trekkers, learn to enjoy those little things in life that make the soul sing. Life isn’t always easy, and I have had my fair share of heartache. I have been through the thick of it with those internal battles we all have. Now I’m completely dedicated to inspiring you on the inside to better explore the outside and find beauty between the lines of the contrasts of life. I’m so excited to have you here!

Have you ever been to a plantation before?

I visited The Laura Plantation in the 90’s. My Husband and I did a Plantation Row visit in Metairie LA. The Laura Plantation stands out because at the time I visited the SLAVE CABINS an they were intact. I am of African American Decadent, thus I cried like a baby when we visited the cooks quarters, the blacksmith’s quarter, and THE SLAVE QUARTERS. The Laura Plantation was on our Itinerary because of The Br'er Rabbit 🐇 stories we read as kids. Make no mistake The Laura Plantation was guilty of having SLAVES. I can not understand why people want to get married at an Plantation, once the learn the history of SLAVERY - it’s sick -

Unfortunately I wasn't able to film more than the home itself. They did bring us back to the slave cabins and I too was deeply moved by the history, the feeling, and the briar rabbit stories - I didn't realize they came from the slaves in the south. The guide was very knowledgeable about both sides of the story and told a very real account of what happened here. I agree, while the plantations are great for photos, I feel it can be a bit sad.

@@CultureTrekking We were able to take a tour of the entire plantation pre Katrina. Even though it made us sad, it was a beautiful Caribbean style plantation. It was unique compared to the Colonial plantations on the tour. It’s our history, and I hope more people will visit plantation row.

Last name is Duparc and not Duprac. Also, based on what the tour guide told us, your account about the use of Roman numerals is inaccurate; it was because the house was built elsewhere and needed to be reassembled on-site.

Thanks for the fact check. Always good to have people who take time to make sure every detail is right. Running a one woman show while working full time is really hard. Hope you liked the rest of the video despite a few minor errors

Last week we were there and had Logan as a tour guide. He told us the same story you heard: the Roman numerals instructed the builders to build a “house of thirty.” Thirty was the number of pillars.

Wonderful, did you do video on the slaves?

@CultureTrekking Жыл бұрын

I was able to film an go into more detail on my other videos about the slaves, Laura Plantation didn't want me filming some aspects of the slaves lives there as they wanted to honor the memory of the slaves, answer any questions each visitor had. I found that they were very open about the conditions of the slaves, knowledgeable about the plantation and how they handled situations, gave detailed insight into their stories. The tour through the house was REALLY speedy, so all the lineage of the family was really confusing for me personally - but genuinely cried a bit at the 'story time' they had in a covered building in the back about the slaves on the plantation here and I learned a lot from the staff.

@Culture Trekking with Janiel thank you. I will look at all your videos. Really interested in Pa Phillipe and Edward ( his son)? You're super awesome. Keep traveling and sharing, please. Some of us live vicariously through you.

Janiel you so pretty I'm from New Orleans I now live in Colorado. I've visited Utah I love the national parks there. I'm also African American. I hope since this stuff is still being preserved for history purposes. Hopefully some of the money that's made from that goes to those black communities in the area. Because if it don't this is pointless and it's like glorifying the horrible part of American history. But I do respect what you doing and much love you !!!!

I don’t know the specifics on where the money goes honestly- but for people like me who grew up in a very sheltered part of the country in a small town we just were never taught the REAL history - so I was genuinely grateful to learn it. I hope I do it justice because I know it’s a delicate subject and try to ask about it no matter what country I’m in. Definitely think it’s important. Also thank you for the kind compliment- Colorado is amazing 🤩

I understand your goal is to educate but that’s why it’s important to separate fact from opinion in business & as a “KZfaqr” & An Educator you are running a business!

@CultureTrekking 2 жыл бұрын

Attention spans are getting shorter and shorter. As educators, it's also important to keep attention spans so that people stick around for the whole story. I get what you're saying though, and definitely think it is a fine line with lots of different opinions on how to run a business for sure. I do sincerely try to do the right thing,. My Destrehan Plantation Tour with Dianne Honore does a better job of sharing the slave experience, she is a slave descendent from the plantation owner. I made her the star of that video because I wanted to share the REAL history of what it was like to be a slave for a FRENCH Creole and give her the space she deserves to amplify those slave stories. I hope it captures the important black history better. Sincerely apologize that this video was upsetting because that was not my intention. I just appreciate you pointing a few things out that could be considered triggering and offensive. Thank you for allowing me space to grow and be human while I try to hone my craft. #GrowingPains
