Remember that many of these plantations are privately owned and the tours are privately operated, so they will vary in quality, attitude and attention to history. When I visited a plantation near Baton Rouge, our group got the typical "white folks" tour, with brief mention of slave quarters. But, a polite young black man in the group asked the tour guide for more information after the tour. She opened up a private library for him, and after sending the rest of us on our way, spent time showing him some books and answering his questions. He was clearly getting access to info not available to the general public. I hope he found what he was looking for. --Anna
