A spokesperson for that particular plantation, Hillary Loeber, stated that they don't employ actors to depict slaves. Loeber went on to say that they [I]do [/I]hire tour guides who don period clothing, like the "Annabelle-style hoop skirts" that can be seen in the clip, but that people of all skin colors can be hired for those roles.
