点评:I went on the “From Slavery to Freedom” tour and it was the most impressive, well-considered, researched, and fascinating tour I’ve ever been on of an American historical site. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to experience Monticello from a perspective considering every enslaved person on the plantation, not just those who were free. Learning the fascinating names and stories of individuals who I had never heard or a deeper understanding of the Hemmings family, who I had heard of, changed a lot of what I knew about plantations as a whole as well as the people. I recommend this tour to everyone.
Our guide, Ashley, did such a wonderful job and was even able to answer our group’s most absurd, technical, or deep cut questions. I am so grateful for my experience. My only wish was that I stayed longer!
翻译:我参加了“从奴隶制到自由”之旅,这绝对是我参加过的最令人印象深刻、最周全、最考究、最引人入胜的美国历史遗址之旅。我非常感激有机会从种植园里每一位奴隶的角度来体验蒙蒂塞洛庄园,而不仅仅是那些获得自由的人。了解那些我从未听说过的奴隶们的迷人名字和故事,以及对之前有所耳闻的赫明斯家族更深入的了解,都极大地改变了我对种植园整体以及种植园居民的认知。我强烈推荐大家参加这个旅行团。
我们的导游阿什利非常出色,甚至能够解答我们团队提出的那些看似荒谬、专业或冷门的问题。我对这次旅行体验感激不尽。我唯一的遗憾就是停留的时间太短了!
