Success in preserving Butler Island Plantation could give the Weeping Time Coalition insight on preserving the Weeping Time property.  Councilman Griffin Lots,  joined the coalition at a press conference held at Solomon Temple to share details of how they were successful in stopping the sale of the Butler Island Plantation.
 

Butler Island Plantation is located about 62 miles (100 kilometers) south of Savannah, where the plantation's owner participated in the largest sale of slaves in U.S. history in the late 1850s. More than 430 slaves were sold, and the breakup of families that occurred as a result continues to be remembered as “The Weeping Time.”
