While I would hope that the people behind this project (Americans Ron and Carla Bluntschli) have the best of intentions, I just can't see this being done with any dignity. Taking "slaves" to auction - they couldn't possibly get away with what really went on.
They need to take a page from the Holocaust Museum, which immerses tourists in the horrors, without demeaning them any further.

Maybe these people could just visit the Underground Railroad Museum in Cincy instead??
Who would pay to be treated like a slave?? Wait, don't answer that...

This sounds like something we did on campus, but it was called "Boxes and Walls." There was a theme and a lesson to be learned in each room. For example you had the language barrier room, the gay/lesbian room, the handicapped room, the homeless room, the African American experience room, etc. It was actually very interesting.

yeah only 12 hours? maybe that's all their business plan to get the money up allows for...
and many colleges do the "Tunnel of Oppression/Boxes and Walls" replication to "open the campus' eyes to various disparities." the bad thing on our campus, is that it became a HUGE joke to students and would go just to see the student actors and get their jollies.
then all SORTS of people started claiming being "oppressed." ie. "omg, this fire drill sucks, i cant wash the conditioner out of my hair, im sooooo oppressed!"
true story guys.
