Researcher identifies enslaved people she believes are buried at planned Louisiana plastics complex
A genealogist scoured historical records for years to establish the identities of enslaved people who she believes are buried on the grounds of a planned $9.4 billion plastics facility in southeast Louisiana. The effort is part of a long-running battle by local community groups, often descendants of enslaved people who worked plantations in St. James Parish and neighboring parishes, to halt industrial development and protect their cultural heritage. Lenora Gobert's research — published Monday by the environmental organization Louisiana Bucket Brigades and local community group Inclusive Louisiana — identified five enslaved people named Stanley, Harry, Simon, Betsy and Rachel who had died at a former plantation now slated for a massive facility owned by Taiwan-based Formosa Plastics Group.
