Guide singles out black children to re-enact slavery

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Union County, N.C., school has vowed never to send its children back to Latta Plantation after an African-American tour guide picked three black students out of a mostly white group to help re-enact the lives of slaves.

Plantation officials say there was no malicious intent, but they will always ask for volunteers in the future.

The controversy flared after fifth-graders from Rea View Elementary in Waxhaw, N.C., traveled to Mecklenburg County last Wednesday to visit the historic cotton plantation.
