Llano Del Rio

Llano's Louisiana years are best remembered for how its members lived. Children studied four hours and worked four in a related trade such as construction or newspaper production, and those who moved to public school often skipped two grades. Women could take any job they could do, and mothers got up to six months off after a birth, with child care when they returned. The colony also refused Black members after debating the question, so its ideal of shared work stopped at the color line. Satellite operations included a rice farm at Elton.
