This website is a virtual memorial is to name, remember, and honor more than 300 individuals who were enslaved in Louisiana under the Duplantier family.
The majority of these individuals lived and labored at Magnolia Mound Plantation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The plantation still stands today as a plantation museum, but it does not have a memorial honoring the enslaved community.
This project's vision is to center Louisiana history on those that survived slavery, rather than those that perpetuated it. It is in support of the reparations movement and invites descendants of enslaved individuals and slave owners to explore the "Reparations" page.
