A review of a South Carolina plantation tour is getting a lot of attention online, and not in a good way for the person who wrote it.
According to a review posted about McLeod Plantation in Charleston, a visitor wrote that she and her husband were “extremely disappointed” because the tour focused on how enslaved people were treated. She wrote that they came for the history of a Southern plantation and a look at the house and grounds, and that the guide made them feel “lectured.” The reviewer also wrote that she is not racist and that she and her husband planned to skip plantation tours going forward.
Saira Rao, an author and former congressional candidate, shared the review on Twitter, and users quickly piled on. Many were stunned that anyone would expect a plantation tour to leave out the history of slavery, a point also noted in coverage by Atlanta Black Star.
The reaction was fast and loud. Plenty of commenters pointed out that the story of a plantation is the story of the people who were enslaved there, and that a tour guide telling that history is simply doing the job.
The reviewer was not identified in the coverage, and no response from her was included. McLeod Plantation had not publicly commented in the reports at the time.
