“The Antioch Baptist Church was conceived in the hearts of the former slaves in 1868. During this period in history, racism existed in ways that most of us have only read about. It was at this time that God called some brave men from the Paulina area to join together and form a burial society. The society was an organization that operated similarly to our present day burial insurances. Members paid nickels and dimes in membership dues and the society was responsible for their funeral expenses. T

Whitney Plantation is a space dedicated to truth-telling about America’s past. Here, you’ll learn about the West Africans who built this plantation, cleared the land, and maintained its success through their forced labor. From managing the flow of the Mississippi River by constructing levees, to cultivating rice, indigo, and sugarcane, over 350 enslaved people were the foundation of the plantation’s economy. We invite you to visit and learn. #SlaveryHistory #AmericanHistory #GermanCoast #Louisia
