Thank you for sharing this. It's so easy to "forget" the horrifying history of a beloved part of our day-sugar in our coffee or tea. Thank you for this reminder and encouragement to seek out the truth behind the historical monuments and places in our communities and whether or not they are telling the whole story.

Thank you for your brave foray, literally and figuratively, into the little known woods and sad, often whitewashed history of this sugar plantation. Keep writing and shedding light on these subjects. I appreciate you and always learn something new at your “table”.

I'm glad you liked it, Sarah. That plantation is so haunting in all the ways that word means. It makes you want to give up sugar, doesn't it?
