that's the parish we're in by the whitney plantation. it is centered by a sculpture by rob moorhead from mississippi and this is called "coming home." and so we have along the walls here the names, date of death, ages and names of the mother of all of the children who died. and these are recorded in the church records. so our historian did the research in pulling those records out of church and recording them here. so here is a large collection of people that are not listed with any name whatsoever. these are all people that are just listed as little slave, negro slave girl, negro slave boy. some of these people, who have no names, were perhaps too young. they died too young to be named. but sometimes we see this notation when people were 2 years old or 3 years old, who definitely had names but even at death were just -- when they were born, they were born into a lower class, of course, as enslaved people. it was not seen as important enough to record the names they had or to look into it and find out what their name was in life. so the

the whitney plantation does not have original slave cabins. all of them were torn down by the 1970s. but the end of the civil war there were 22 slave cabins on this site. and they looked about like this. so this is pretty typical. and it is essentially a dupe flex. it would be family on each side or if not a real family, a fiktive family. the slave cabins on this site were arranged the way that we've brought these in. so we have -- there could be two rows facing each other with a central courtyard in the center. and so you could imagine that would have created a kind of a community there. and these were also set back from the plantation big house about about half a mile. so there was some physical distance between where the hidel family lived and where the enslaved workers lived. and that dance is important in creating some kind of a sense of autonomy, although their movements were still controlled. people could not leave the plantation without a pass and over seer would monitor them at all stages of the day to make sure they got up at the rig

of the whitney plantation big house. the dining room is on the ground floor, and the floor has spanish tile, which we had recreate it, we did find fragments of the style here. when we were doing the restoration. and this kind of speaks to the role of the mississippi river in these people's lives. and slaved people built the levees along the mississippi where we are set back from the mississippi river and not terribly far. all of the people who were enslaved on the particular plantations along the river wrote, were responsible for building the levee and maintaining the levee right in front of that place. but there was a lot of kind of give and take and there was a lot of flooding, so some of these big houses and this may have been one of them but we don't know, some of them were originally open air on the ground floor to allow for flooding. and later enclosed as the levees improved. this is the dining area where enslaved people would serve meals. we have furnished this big house using not any original pieces from this fam
