Great Hope Plantation

Yesterday we had a very moving presentation by a man named Harold. He brought us through the grueling and painful daily lives of slaves. They worked from "no see to no see" which means from before the sun came up until after it went down. These slaves endured many painful experiences and relied on friends and family to get them through. Harold's message was that of these people could've gone through these terrible experiences, we can get through anything. It's important to put things into perspective and remember the good fortunes that we have, including our freedom.
