Again and again, major projects have been planned at St. Rosalie, but none have come to fruition. Author: By David Hammer / Eyewitness Investigator Published: 8:34 PM CST February 10, 2021 Updated: 8:43 AM CST February 11, 2021 PLAQUEMINES PARISH, La. — Thick woods overtook the old St. Rosalie Plantation house more than 70 years ago. But to the people of Ironton, a community of modest homes just south of those woods, St. Rosalie remains a powerful symbol of Black heritage in the heart of what used to be a bastion of White supremacy -- Plaquemines Parish.
