More than a dozen medical students from Tulane University posed at the former slave quarters in the hopes of inspiring others.

“Seeing that many black students in training in one photo was striking. In a place that was dedicated to our ancestors and their struggles,” Labat, 24, said. “We knew this photo was going to make people stop ... and really think. I can say for myself, I definitely got emotional throughout this experience.”

Ledet hopes that message gets to those who feel a lack of representation in and out of the classroom. "These kids need somebody who looks like them in an image in their classroom," Ledet said."When that’s in their mind. That’s where their memories come from. They can be me."

Are they aware it was their family who captured and sold the slaves? Should I go stand outside Auschwitz for some attention? Until they stop thinking racism when every thought they will never be free.

This is moving. Congratulations and thank you for choosing to devote your life to caring for others!

Meanwhile in Africa

Yes! Folks, please come down to the Big Easy and visit the Whitney Plantation. It's the only Plantation experience told from the slave's perspective. Certainly a unique look into our history, presented factually, honestly, without bias. Come. You can thank me later.

Select from our newsletters below and enter your email to subscribe. The truly inhumane sad part of this example s that the early acts had such a scaring effect on the USA. N Africa they r men; n USA black men. Do they say the sam of whites n europe/USA? No. Y the difference? We shud all know the bad reason y. This is ridiculous. Plantations didn’t “inspire” them, nor were they even relevant in their lives.
