[NLA] COABE plantation tour

[Peter Kondrat]

I would like to take Sally's suggestion one step further: this list
provides a great forum for organizing a group of critical thinkers to
sign up and participate in the tour! Sounds like an ideal place to raise
consciousness and to educate ourselves and others about supremacy
nostalgia and the enduring legacy of racism. I cast a vote for taking
popular education to the people.

I'll have to look at the conference literature and find out when the
tour is, but if I will be there, I am up for helping to make it a
genuinely educational tour for all concerned.
