My parents lived in a suburb of Ft. Lauderdale called Plantation. That’s the legal name of the town, not just a gated neighborhood. Ironically, a large portion of the town is now black. I’m sure when they get enough seats on the city commission they’ll vote to change the name, in what would have to be an expensive process.
Used to live in Margate, next door.................
Maine has plantations in the unorganized townships. Years ago a friend and I were having breakfast at a place in Highland Plantation. As we were eating, my friend asked the owner “plantation, huh, you got any n...rs here?” Fellow says, “nope but we’ve got a few Frenchmen.” At that, Jacques, the logging truck driver looks over at us with a big grin.
