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.
