Visitors come to Whitney Plantation with a lot of different ideas about what slavery was and wasn’t. Join Nicole Moore, historian and Director of Education at the Center for Civil and Human Rights as we walk through some of the myths about the Peculiar Institution, where they come from, and why they’re so hard for all of us to shake.

Visit Nicole's work at Interpreting Slave Life.
