Embark on an immersive exploration of New Orleans’ rich African American and Afro-Creole heritage. Begin in the Indigenous lands once known as Bulbancha, and trace the profound impact of the Haitian Revolution on the city’s development. Stand along the Mississippi River, site of one of the nation’s largest slave markets, and feel the enduring spirit at Congo Square, where enslaved Africans gathered to preserve their cultural traditions through music and dance.
Delve into the unique experience of urban slavery in New Orleans, where bondage met with creativity, resistance, and survival. Enslaved Africans and free people of color built homes, prepared food that would define Creole cuisine, and gave rise to jazz, Black masking culture, and the legacy of the Mardi Gras Indians — cultural expressions born from struggle and triumph.

Explore historic neighborhoods like Tremé, Congo Square, and the Lower 9th Ward, witnessing the deep legacy of Black communities who shaped the city’s rhythm and soul. Stand in the footsteps of Civil Rights pioneers like Ruby Bridges and Leona Tate, who integrated schools and helped change American history.
