The sun sets behind what remains of the Forks of Cypress plantation house in Florence, Alabama October 22, 2015. According to a historical marker at the site, "The Forks of Cypress plantation was established in 1818 by James and Sarah Jackson. Built by skilled African American artisans in slavery, the Forks stood until June 6, 1966, when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Its surrounding brick porch with twenty three brick columns remain." REUTERS/Brian Snyder
