Goal: $45,000 to purchase a new passenger van for Rev’s Natchez Country Tours

Meet Rev - the Voice of Natchez

If you’ve seen the award-winning documentary Natchez, you already know Rev, the charismatic pastor and tour guide who drives visitors through the heart and the truth of Mississippi’s oldest city.

See Natchez trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRGfxjgoa9Y

On the last tour, Rev was explaining the history of Forks of the Road in Natchez, Mississippi. A few people became uncomfortable and got back in the van before the presentation was finished. The subject was slavery. More specifically, one of the largest slave markets in the United States. Forks of the Road was not just a place on a map. From the 1830s until the Civil War, tens of thousands of enslaved men, women, and children were brought there from Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. Many arrived after being forced to march hundreds of miles in chained “coffles” down the Natchez Trace to be sold into bondage. Historians estimate that tens of thousands—and perhaps as many as 200,000—enslaved people passed through this market. It became one of the busiest slave-trading sites in America and helped make Natchez one of the wealthiest places in the nation. (National Park Service) Some people would rather leave that history alone. We disagree. History is not something to be hidden. It is something to be understood. Rev’s tours are not about guilt. They are about truth. They are about telling the stories of people whose names were often erased, whose families were separated, and whose lives helped build the wealth and prosperity that followed. The goal is not to dwell in the past. The goal is to learn from it. That is why these tours matter. And that is why the van matters. If you have ever taken a tour with Rev, learned something new, brought a friend, or simply believe these stories deserve to be told, please consider making a contribution. Every dollar helps keep the wheels turning and the stories alive. Thank you for helping us preserve history—not the comfortable version, but the honest one.

I hope your vibrator runs out of battery halfway through and that the charger is on the other side of the room. And also that you die

Lestat: I am an unreliable narrator. I love to lie.

Half the audience for some reason: I can’t believe how reliable this narrator is. He would never lie to us.

iwtv continues to be so smart in its portrayal of memories and trauma, the way lestat’s memories of his family are so obnoxiously loud, everyone’s screaming all the time for no reason and everyone’s acting like caricatures, like an actual assault on the senses, as if lestat’s mind is filled with unbearable noise every time he thinks about them. lestat’s memories coming at him all fragmented and loud and violent, attacking him and beating him into submission as he desperately tries to escape them is such an interesting contrast to how louis would carefully weave a thread of his past pretending the glaring holes in it weren’t there

[etherealgoob]

Where was Lestat keeping his copy of iwtv for the entire duration of the show? Does he keep it on his person at all times? He's strapped on all occasions just by chance he runs into his ex husband ???
