There’s a couple great rephrasing of the idea of not hurting white children to make them feel racist. Awesome.
Visiting concentration camps is a very visceral experience and stays with you forever if you try to recall it. Ii personally want to visit the reenactment of the salve rebellion of 1811 I learned they have in Louisiana. The end of that rebellion was unfortunate, resulting in putting many of rebels heads on spikes ever mile along the Mississippi River outside New Orleans and leaving them there in front of the plantations, or labor camps, as a warning. Such horror is what should be seen to demystify the “beauty” of the plantation houses and reveal the actual hidden brutality not seen. The labor camps should be built, along with som of the graves and mass graves, and the tours should include the brutality of the white man’s torture techniques perfected over the 60 years leading up to the Civil War. Would it hurt white children’s feelings? Most definitely. But don’t invite them. I’m betting creating such a hollowed ground tourist attraction would bring many black American descendants of slaves, but many whites, newly immigrated Africans and some other minorities as well. They have “ghost” tours of New Orleans that attract tourists, and ghosts aren’t even verified. But the spirits haunting this labor camps of enslaved black Americans is historically verified and will haunt the minds of those who view it. As it should.
