The Whitney Plantation is The Only Museum in the Country to Solely Memorialize Slavery

The Whitney Plantation, located in Wallace, Louisiana and opened last December, is the only museum in America to solely memorialize slavery. Run by White southerner John Cummings, the project took approximately $8 million and 16 years to complete. Cummings said, “This isn’t Black history we’re talking about, this is our national history. It’s my history, it’s your history,” Cummings told The Atlantic. “I would try my best to present the facts of slavery to all of the people I could find so that everyone would understand how strong the deck was stacked against the Africans here.” [The Huffington Post]

Judge Refuses to Drop Charges in Freddie Gray Case

Motions to drop charges against officers involved in the Freddie Gray case have been thrown out by Judge Barry Williams. After an hour and a half hearing, Williams dismissed two key defense motions: the various misconduct and murder charges the officers faced, as well as a motion for State Attorney’s Marilyn Mosby to recuse herself. (Mosby wanted recusal because her husband, Nick Mosby, is a councilman in a district that experienced violence during the Freddie Gray protests). The judge said that being married to a councilman does not warrant recusal. [News One]
