We have record of people that weve found, 357 over the course of that 100plus years. There are going to be a lot of people missing from that. Where we will start introducing that population is on our first memorial where were going to begin in memorials we built to people enslaved in the state of louisiana and enslaved on this land. This is the wall of honor. And on this memorial, we have recorded the names and basic information about 354 individuals that we have been able to find who were enslaved on this land. This memorial is it moves through time roughly chronologically. In the earlier this side we have people who are born in the 18th century. Were missing the entire generation of enslaved people here.

We are beginning our tour today in a historic friedmans church built circa 1870 by people who lived on the opposite side of the river in paulino, louisiana. This structure was donated to us about ten years ago but i descendants of the original founders of that congregation.

So we like to start our tour at the whitney plantation here in this building so we can kind of see what happened to people, some of the things that they cared about

Nothing could have been further from their minds. They were doing something entirely different. They were about the difference of establishing a place where they could enjoy a pure and uncorrupted church. The earliest settlers of virginia
