Whitney Plantation’s virtual event featuring My Father’s Name invites you to reflect on the legacies of slavery through the story of one woman’s journey to uncover the truth about her father’s participation in a lynching, find a way to hold her family accountable, and face the dawning awareness of her own unconscious racism.
