\"\"<\/a>Our give-away-the-plate recipient for February 2022 is the Whitney Plantation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Every month, we dedicate all of our non-pledge income to an organization doing the work that best embodies our Unitarian Universalist principles and values<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We usually choose a local organization but we are changing that for this Black History Month in order to honor The Whitney Plantation.<\/p>\n

The Whitney is the only museum in Louisiana that focuses exclusively on the lives of enslaved people — a far cry from the usual plantation tours that often literally “whitewash” history.<\/p>\n

The Whitney tells the story of the history of slavery on a South Louisiana sugar cane plantation. The Whitney is located in Wallace, Louisiana<\/a> (an hour’s drive between Baton Rouge and New Orleans<\/a>).<\/p>\n
