Essays From The Plantation

Essays from the Plantation: The Burgess House This book—the first in a series—uses short stories to draw parallels between our historical past and present-day realities. It does so by blending real-life corporate experiences with fictionalized narratives rooted in the lives of enslaved individuals on plantations dating back to 1619.

 The stories unfold in a fictional medical facility known as the Burgess House. While the names have been changed and the setting is imagined, the experiences are grounded in truth—offering an unflinching look at how history echoes through modern structures.
 Readers are encouraged to approach these essays not as a definitive chronicle but as an interpretive project—an effort to weave together evidence and imagination in pursuit of a more complete, if still imperfect, understanding of the past.
