Signs claiming slaves were "happy" and had "natural musical instinct" taken down at Louisiana SP

Slaves at Rosedown Plantation, the state’s most visited historical site, were “happy” and had “a natural musical instinct,” claimed the wording of an official exhibit sign at the state-owned and administered tourist location.


It was a mistake, said Brandon Burris, the deputy assistant secretary of State Parks. He didn’t know how long the sign had been posted, but it has now been removed.
