Exhibition highlights 300 years of African influence in New Orleans

Trace the African presence in New Orleans through a new exhibition by the New Orleans Arts & Culture Coalition (NOACC), a collective of local arts, education and cultural nonprofit organizations promoting the recognition and advancement of civil and human rights, history and culture in the city.

”African Heritage of New Orleans: 300 Years in the Making” accounts for the African presence and the development of a uniquely African cultural identity in New Orleans, from 1718 to the post-civil rights period. The no-cost exhibition will be on view at The Historic New Orleans Collection, 400 Chartres St., through Dec. 8.
