* the locals here embrace their slavery roots. They feel the story about the slaves and the owners should always be told.

We toured a former plantation. Tradition dictates that the original owners name remain. In the case if the plantation I toured the owner was a monster.

They keep that family name on the estate so it lives in infamy.

The town we entered to hike the Pitton was called Free Mans town, which is the settlement the first freed slaves moved to. Why keep a name like that? Because history.

Hat is off to St. Lucia for not erasing it.
