On the sixth episode of Technology's Storyteller's, host Bucky Stanton speaks with Ashley Rogers, Executive Director for the Whitney plantation. Besides her work as director, she has an M.A in History from Colorado State University and is currently a PhD Student at Louisiana State University in the Department of History. 

Ashley discusses the relationship between her historical and museum work, the connections between slavery, sugarcane, and industrial labor and the continued legacies of racial injustice in the area surrounding the plantation today.   

Technology's Storytellers is a podcast developed by the Society for the History of Technology to explore present issues through the lens of the history of technology.
