The Tricentennial Edition of African American New Orleans is now available in Paperback and Kindle Versions. The Kindle Edition includes 14 full color photographs.
No other city in America appreciates and celebrates the African American cultural landscape as does New Orleans.
There are seventy-three distinct neighborhoods in the Crescent City. In three adjacent neighborhoods – Faubourg Tremé, Faubourg St. Mary, and the French Quarter – there are more than fifty statues and historic sites honoring African American contributions to the cultural and civil rights history of New Orleans. In the fifteen neighborhoods mentioned in this book, there are well over one hundred.
African American New Orleans is an essential and valuable reference for everyone visiting New Orleans; especially during Mardi Gras, Audubon Zoo Soul Fest, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, The Essence Music Festival, Juneteenth, Satchmo Summerfest, The New Orleans Blues & BBQ Festival, The Bayou Classic, and Kwanzaa. It is also a guide for residents of the New Orleans area who may not be aware of the history surrounding them.
Volumes have been written about New Orleans civil rights history. Library shelves overflow with extensive works about the origins of jazz and the unique culture of the Crescent City. This book, however, is written with the visitor in mind by providing over one hundred photographs accompanied by concise, informative text describing the significance of each site. In addition, neighborhood and street addresses are provided which can be quickly located via your smart phone map application.
This book also serves as a helpful study guide for New Orleans school students and teachers; providing a framework for discussion and further research into the fascinating social and multicultural fabric of African American New Orleans.
