It's A Slave World Afterall

I generally try to spread my blog post to every couple of days or so, but I couldn't sit on this story.

I came upon this one on one of my favorite blogs, The Assimilated Negro. He refers to a story he found about a couple wanting to open a "Slave Park".

Some couple from Colorado wants to open up a theme park in Haiti where park guest can experience what it was like to be a slave 200 years ago, before the revolt that resulted in Haiti becoming the first black republic.

Participants enjoy a 12 hour experience where they are kidnapped, chained, and then marched to a slave ship. Then they are "sold" and forced to work on a plantation until later, where they participate in the rebellion that results in their freedom.

The couple has set up a foundation to fund this project and is already halfway there in donations. They only need $700,000 more.

You know, Disney failed in it's attempt to open a park here in Virginia. I wonder if they would ever consider Haiti. I'm just saying. . .
