Wenzel Friedrich chair

From your colleague Susan Arndt, “I found this catalog of his from the period. It was digitized from the Winterthur Library of Americana collection. You can flip through it and find our design of the chair and footstool, read the descriptions and see other designs.”

The Complicated Business of Plantation Tourism

From your colleague Kate Christianson, a recommended podcast:

The Complicated Business of Plantation Tourism

Kate says “It includes interviews with a historian, a guide and a reconciliation expert involved in consciously addressing slavery and the African American experience at places like plantations and Monticello–what they advocate, what they have encountered on their tours, related training, etc; how plantation  tourism profits are used, etc.  A good forum, with a lot of honest sharing from people calling in.”
