Natchez
Excerpts from The New Yorker (2/2/26) review of Natchez, "Counternarratives"
"Natchez, a Missippi River town [where] tourists ... come to see its meticulously restored antebellum houses... From 2022 to 2024 [Director] Herbert filmed several such tours, often led by the homeowners themselves, most of whom are white, including some who can trace their family's
occupancy to before the Civil War. She also filmed Natchez tours led by Black residents of the area, who tell stories very different from those of their white counterparts, offering correctives of the town's sanitized mythology of itself."
"...an elderly Black man named Ser Boxley... describes his activism in mystical terms: 'The enslaved ancestors here asked the question, who is going to tell their story? I said I would."
