[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Hey everyone! This topic is something that I feel very passionately about. So, I had to take the time to post a video about our tour of this plantation. If there are any details that I missed or things I got wrong please leave them down below. I am always open to learning and I hope it can help to teach others too! And thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch this video! 🥰

Yes it's alot we as a people need PTSD therapy for sure, I can't even look at movies about it or immerse myself without needing a break. Thank you for this video I love the series 💖

[@jaX-mg3ow]

Hi, Yes slavery is still going on it's called modern mind opt slavery for the last 150yrs.

[@Gwen3344]

Wow you did an amazing job with this video. Our History can have you in all kinds of emotions. But we are a resilient people.Keep up the good work

[@freyawhiteley6869]

This video is so well spoken and beautifully thought out, thank you so much for sharing

[@cindytargett]

You and your mom are awesome and I would love to do what you're doing. I get the depressing feeling I'm Blackfoot Indian and we lost all our land and put on reservations God bless 🙏 😢

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

😢 truly such a horrible injustice done to your people. This is a truth that people need to talk about more too. Thank you for watching 💛

[@zeah]

Thank you for utilizing your channel for powerful content. Blessings and protection be with the generations that are healing the ancestors past, and the society present.

[@GeorgiaGrown90]

I grew up in Atlanta and my school took us on trips to slave plantations and other historical sites from that era. Even as a child, it is an indescribable feeling touring a slave plantation. You can sense the pain and sadness but also the strength and perseverance. Education is the first step in reconciliation and healing. If any of you get a chance to do one of these tours, you should. Great video Loui :)

[@stephaniesimmons2253]

The education that you and your mom are putting out there is phenomenal. Thank you so much.

[@johnbroystonjr23]

Hey Adventure Time Loui!!! This is a great video with emotionally stirring content. I'll definitely add the Whitney Plantation to my list of places to visit. Thank you for revealing this place to your followers. Looking forward to seeing more about you and your Mom and the excitingadventuresand journeys. Be SAFE out there and Thank you for sharing. 😎

[@creatednhisimage]

GREAT video I've always wanted to visit there. Tons of history that should not be forgotten. Thank you for sharing!

[@GwenDeeful]

Thank you for taking you on your plantation tour. As an African American this was difficult but necessary. We do have to learn the truth about slavery in order to heal. Have a happy journey and stay safe.

[@DoWhatMakesYouHappyy]

Thank you for sharing Loui. You have put into the right words for all of us, “teach your babies to be empathetic.”

[@elisastyleswilliamson2701]

Check out the Geechee Gulley Tours in Savannah and South Carolina, it's amazing.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

I will check this out for sure! Thank you!

[@shamsshams20261]

Wonderful words you said. Thank you so much for sharing, I really apreciate it.

[@J.C5156]

Thank you for sharing. It was very moving. Lets start healing and send that love and light to all our ancestors who fought for our freedom. Peace!

[@jillw.2524]

Thank you for this tour. My family is from LA.. I more interested in visiting my roots more than ever. I pray my daughter & I will travel as you are with your mom. Prayers & blessings your way. 😍🙏🕊🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@terib6166]

Great video, thanks for the awesome history and the photo images were beautiful.

[@thelisaofmonalisa4829]

Another great video, love the experiences you two have. Important stuff.

[@sheliafalgout5043]

Good job Loui! I’m from Louisiana and u making me think about my history through your eyes!

[@sheliafalgout5043]

Or, your helping me to see it through your eyes! U are an inspiration to me, I love that u travel with your mother. I wish I could do that with my sons.. stay safe girlfriend!

[@RoseaCreates]

The trees are gorgeous. I am so glad this natural part has been preserved so the air is nice and clean. Also that this place has not been demolished so we can see the injustices and indentured servitude that is arguably still prevalent today. Thank you for the informative video.

[@Jazz-wk4pz]

Thank you for saying “Rise above racial injustices” and for creating this video. 🤎🖤 we need more videos like this.

[@ronethridge9875]

nice to see both of you having fun-fun/thanks much

[@Tlydia]

thank you again for the conscientious and thoughtful travel vlog!

[@Professor_Redd]

Blessings ladies and pities!! I stumbled upon your channel and am now a new subbie. My home state of Louisiana is rich in food and culture with a dark history of enslavement. I discovered that my ancestors were part of the Shehee plantation in northern Louisiana. Thanks for sharing this part of American history that public school systems refuse to teach or have erased from the curriculum. #safetravels

[@americatalkliveLA]

Elegantly done. Eloquently narrated. Beautifully delivered. 💘

[@jonathanjones6780]

Thank you, for the extremely meaningful content. You must understand history in order to change the future in a positive way. Please stay safe😇!!!

[@dwalker6868]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@CampMore99]

I just found your channel today. Appreciate you sharing your vegan lunch! And I've subscribed to watch your compelling stories such as this one. Safe travels!

[@KaiEVette]

Definitely an emotional one but much needed girl! Loved it 😊

[@dondattaford5593]

Nice day to start with the pets definitely cute thanks for the trip appreciate you

[@joanhowze1069]

I love visiting plantations that’s the nicest one I’ve seen

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Was such a great tour. Normally they have tour guides that take you around! Highly recommend it!

[@ThePriyaNembhard]

The first time I visited a plantation museum I was 14. It was right outside of Busch Gardens in West Virginia. They allowed you to walk through the slave cabins. Really powerful.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

It’s really is such a powerful experience to actually visit the place versus just learning about it.

[@nannettelacy6188]

Thanks for sharing.

[@keyshia6909]

Now I’m gonna be up all night researching slavery conditions and crying!! We never learned ANY of these conditions in school just a quick “Abraham Lincoln ended slavery” HOW PATHETIC OF THEM. Thanks for the video. God bless you & your mommy.

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

what a difference a generation (or two) makes. we learned about this when I was in school. Norfolk school systems HAPPILY talked about slavery and by the time I was in high school, I sought out (social reasons) MAPS (minority achievement program for students) aaaaand those classes and teachers HAPPILY talked about these brutality and savagery of slavery. I can't.... it confuses me when I hear ppl say they never knew or were taught. but I was in school pre-no child left behind so I figure the shift funding and overemphasis on testing plays into this. we do need to reckon with the legacy.... but if we're two generations into folks NEVER being introduced to the actual history, how does that happen?

[@blkthunderbolt]

I just put it on my to do list. Now I’m thinking about making a video there myself.

[@smokyjones4054]

Outstanding and very informative. Important part of american history.

[@basil8760]

U did an excellent job on this video. U are such a great speaker. Agree, why didn’t they teach us this in school? I’ve never heard of this plantation, but IF we’re ever in LA, we’ll def check it out. U are right, we should learn to be empathetic n start the healing process. Thanks for sharing.

[@rubieslight3373]

You are so beautiful inside and out keep protecting and healing your spirit. You are so inspiring.

[@Clarinda1963]

Thank u for sharing..

[@TheMandie1111]

Thanks for sharing

[@CosmicRBG]

Thx for sharing. Slavery in the America's was only was only half the story. Soooo much has been done to keep down and destroy the black and brown races as a whole. From seen racism/violence to unseen rasism/ policy. Knowledge Is Power!

[@adrichapoy6525]

@ Red Pill DIY Half?

[@Peculiar223]

How do you make a steady stream of income? I’m a disabled veteran receiving disability benefits and I own a travel trailer I connect to a Toyota 4Runner and I would like to travel and live in my travel trailer but my wife has a stationary job and our son goes to a stationary school.

[@stancupcakkepooh]

You and your mom are adventurous people! Stay safe during quarantine! 😊

[@TruthAndLight4995]

Those trees are amazing

[@annkohn1937]

I'm very happy keeping up with you and da family! In this video of our southern roots mixed with our history in this country I noticed a shirt you ware that has Mills on it,also you mentioned German Roots... Which is similar to our family roots I feel like we share a lot in common... Thanks for sharing your journey it's bout like my own journey searching for my 1800 BackBone mothers in our : Black Pioneers of Westconnet and Sweetwater 1800 history Of Amelia Kohn and Eliza Goodbread Mills slave children on a plantation of Jake Goodbread's in Northwest Lake City Florida west of Duval County ,near Our River City Jacksonville Florida My quest is to learn how those black and white mothers handle their own journeys moving and settling on our own homestead land what is left after fighting with white men taking and stealing from my #BigBeautifulFamily... I'm encouraged watching and seeing a journey of Louie and William with Mom and Lady living in vans traveling across America seeking its cultural diversities mixed races from around the world... Appreciate y'all way down from da dirty dirty South❤💪🏽 HOTEPDEEP 🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼❤

[@samuelchambers5]

Forget my earlier suggestion that you visit a local plantation. I see that you'd already done so. By the way, I support this type of content, as it reflects our history, which is important for all of us to know, inspite of the pain that it might evoke for some.

[@Taylors19]

Thank you for sharing with us 🥰.

[@blkhistorydecoded]

We hear stories of slaves buying their freedom. So obviously slaves were paid and slavery wasn't for life but in some documentaries you would hear the opposite. Why the contradictions? As a business owner, damaging property on a regular basis is career suicide. Slavery did have It's problems but they're grossly exaggerating about the problems. Just how they grossly exaggerate about African history and culture. Most of our history is coming from outsiders. Are they more likely to tell the truth about our history or are they more likely to lie and misrepresent our history?

[@adrichapoy6525]

Thx. 🙏🏿 Appreciate the journey. Healing will occur w/ #reparations.

[@thelisaofmonalisa4829]

agreed and your first name is my son's name.

[@patriceriddick7986]

Facts

[@lily91109]

This comment is dedicated to those who are victims of modern slavery. To those who are unfairly incarcerated, to those who are purposefully left in poverty, and to those who are being trafficked. It's a long road ahead.

[@brialyn337]

You're so beautiful 🌼🏵

[@patriceriddick7986]

Reparations would suffice because a bill is due!! OVERDUE🖤

[@patriceriddick7986]

@@ericchrestman1127 of course you would think so

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

I AGREE! The enslaved built this country and there should be monetary payment! Also I am going to block the guy that is being rude to everyone. People like that don’t get to be in our community. So sorry if they caused you any discomfort! 💛

[@What-gl3py]

it is sad. It is sad, sad you saying African and Indigenous people. I hope you are aware that more Non-African or Indigenous people were sold/ hold as slaves. Slavery never ended. They just have different faces, colors all over the world. What else is sad, that does who fight and gave their lives to free slaves back then. But how many of us do remember does young man, serving in the young ages of 15 to free does who needed freedom?

[@kevinscott660]

Heck....you were a slave?

[@giftoftheroad7651]

Slavery will not be over until we overturn the 13th amendment and abolish the prison complex (and that's the minimum).

[@Lisa-kz7vw]

What does her having been a slave have to do with her visiting a old historic plantation and speaking on the issue just pretend it didn't exist 🤔
