"Vacation Plantation" Documentary in the Chapel In collaboration with Jo & Joy Banner, Co-Founders of the Descendants Project, FUUNO & Rayne Memorial Methodist Church will be showing "Vacation Plantation" on Tuesday, July 8th at 6:30 PM in the Chapel. Today, in the American South, there are as many historic plantation sites open to the public as there are Krispy Kreme locations across the United States. These sites indulging tourists' fantasies, while conveniently forgetting the horrific realities of the past. "Vacation Plantation" grants unparalleled access to the modern American plantation tourism industry - from the priorities of today's plantation owners, to the political balancing act of State representatives, to the descendants of the enslaved fighting for change. Archaeologist, Lauren Cudmore, goes on a journey to understand why millions of tourists continue to vacation at these sites of historic trauma. Don’t miss this insightful 1 hour 16 minute documentary and the opportunity to hear about the work of Jo & Joy Banner
