If your not familiar with Booker T. Washington is, he was a very famous educator of African Americans. He was born into slavery, (the monument we visited is the plantation he was born on). After the Civil War, he eventually went to school and became a principal of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama (which I believe is still around today).
The Plantation was beautiful, they had some animals there, which was a little difficult for Q'Orianka. The horse scared her to death, she almost started crying. Then we saw some sheep, she didn't like them at first, but then once she got used to them, she didn't want to leave. She loved the chickens, roosters, geese and turkey's as well.
Here are some of the pictures from our outing. This first one is inside the house were Washington lived.
This is Q'Orianka running away from some sort of storage barn. When she saw Luis taking her picture she started running.
These are the sheep that scared her at first, but as you can tell, she's not scared any more.+
This was taken on the side of the barn, where the tobacco was stored after it was cut.
