Whitney Plantation + Soul of New Orleans Combo Tour
Start your journey at the powerful Whitney Plantation, the only museum in Louisiana dedicated to telling the storey of enslaved people through their eyes. Walk the grounds where lives were bound to the brutal system of plantation slavery. Explore preserved cabins, memorials, and hear first-hand narratives through a self-guided audio tour, allowing for personal reflection. After a lunch break in New Orleans, continue with the Soul of New Orleans city tour, where we dive deep into the distinct differences between plantation slavery and urban slavery. Explore how enslaved Africans in New Orleans shaped the city’s architecture, food, music, and culture — laying the foundation for jazz, Mardi Gras Indians, and Creole identity. This journey showcases the resilience, creativity, and resistance that birthed a cultural revolution. Black history that can’t be erased, from the fields of suffering to the streets of New Orleans’ cultural revolution.
