On our way home, we visited the Oak Alley Plantation for a sobering history lesson. It was a surreal mix of unbelief and sadness. It's a beautiful property, yet knowing what took place there made us feel sick and heavy. It's hard to imagine people were literally enslaved there. Thinking about families who were separated to work at different plantations made me so sad. Can't imagine being separated from my children.
Jackson said he felt weird smiling because he said it felt disrespectful to the people who were enslaved
there. If everyone had Jackson's heart the world would be a better place. He feels things hard.
Kaitlyn was upset too. Life is so cruel for some people.
