Laura Plantation: Louisiana's Creole Heritage Site的点评
点评:Great tour. Our guide told us how it was. Fist the challenges of family life for the owners and more about the building and its history while going around the house. It was firmly structured...with particular membe4s brought your your attention...then as you move through the estate... the unsettling history of life back then unfolds powerfully. I bought a book from their gift shop called Let us decend by Jesmyn Ward... I can't put it down, I feel I already know these characters, having been around the Laura plantation, having heard stories of slave family experience over generations, having seen listened to the guide, sensed her contained emotion while looking at the inventories of slaves financial values it's adding layers of texture and context to the injustice of slavery. My only regret is not having time to go on to The,Witney plantation as well as the Laura Plantation for an even deeper dive into history.
翻译:很棒的参观体验。我们的导游讲解得非常详细。首先,他讲述了庄园主人家庭生活的种种挑战,然后又在参观过程中详细介绍了建筑本身及其历史。整个参观过程结构严谨,某些特定的场景更是引人入胜。随着我们穿梭于庄园之中,那段令人不安的历史也逐渐清晰地展现在我们眼前。我在礼品店买了一本杰斯敏·沃德(Jesmyn Ward)写的书,书名叫《让我们下凡》(Let us decend)。我爱不释手,感觉自己仿佛已经认识了书中的人物。我曾参观过劳拉种植园,听过几代奴隶家庭的故事,也亲眼目睹过导游的讲解,甚至能感受到她在查看奴隶财产清单时所流露出的复杂情感。这些都为奴隶制的不公增添了更多层次和背景。我唯一的遗憾是时间不够,没能去参观惠特尼种植园,以便更深入地了解这段历史。
