For 10 years, we have gathered at Whitney Plantation to honor the lives of the enslaved men, women and children who lived and worked on this land. This Saturday, join us for the 10th Annual Ancestral Blessing Ceremony, led by Sister Sula (@sulaspirit), @babaluther, and the Congo Square Drummers. This year, we’re also proud to unveil a statue of Solomon Northup, created by sculptor Wesley Wofford (@wofford_sculpture_studio). Bring your friends and family to be part of this special day. 📅 Saturda
