This isn’t just a tour — it’s a reckoning, a remembrance, and a celebration of survival.

Begin your journey at Whitney Plantation, the only museum in Louisiana solely dedicated to the lives and voices of the enslaved. With a powerful audio self-guided tour, you’ll walk the grounds at your own pace — through preserved cabins, memorials, and stories told through the eyes of those who lived them. This part of the journey allows space for reflection, honesty, and deep connection to a past that shaped the present.

After a break for lunch in New Orleans, the story deepens. On the Soul of New Orleans City Tour, you’ll explore how urban slavery shaped not just lives, but a legacy — one of rhythm, resistance, and revolutionary culture. See how the traditions of enslaved Africans gave rise to jazz, Creole cuisine, Mardi Gras Indians, and an identity rooted in beauty and defiance.

This is Black history that can’t be erased — from the chains of labor to the creativity that changed the soul of a city.
