History Reclaimed: Civil Rights, Race, & Culture in New Orleans

Discover the untold stories of New Orleans through its cultural institutions! This class explores how museums and historic sites have both silenced and amplified Black voices, focusing on three impactful spaces: the TEP Center, the New Orleans African American Museum, and the Backstreet Cultural Museum. You’ll learn about their roles in addressing racism, celebrating Black traditions, and preserving African American history. With interactive class visits, an exciting field trip, and group projects, you’ll dive deep into the powerful narratives shaping New Orleans’ culture. Join us to uncover history, challenge perspectives, and create meaningful audio-visual projects!
