THE FIRST PLANTATION

Synopsis

Barbados holds three notable distinctions: it’s one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Caribbean, it’s widely held to be the birthplace of rum, and its colonial settlers invented plantation slavery and white supremacy as we know it today. When Barbados’ Drax Hall, the oldest continuously-operated sugar plantation in the Americas is inherited by a British MP descended from the slave master who first built it, cries arise demanding it be overturned to the island’s citizens.
