New Orleans' Hidden Black History 59:55

منذ 12 يومًا59:55

59:55

New Orleans has been the backdrop of many dark chapters in American history, but perhaps none so shocking as the slave rebellion of 1811. We will explore the history of America's largest slave revolt with author Daniel Rasmussen who organized his research in his book, American Uprising: The Untold Story About America's Largest Slave Revolt. The New Orleans African-American Museum of Art, Culture and History, located in Faubourg Treme, is helping to keep the stories of America's oldest and continuous black community alive. Established in 2000, former executive director John Hankins tells us that the Museum has held the mission "to preserve, interpret and promote" the African American cultural heritage of New Orleans, with a particular empasis on the Treme community. Le Musee de F.P.C. is a beautiful house museum that honors the legacy of New Orleans' Free People of Color. History will echo off the walls and along the wooden floor boards as we walk through this Greek Revival house in Upper Treme with Beverly McKinna. The Museum displays a hidden history of people whose stories have been complied in storage boxes and on cemetery headstones but their undeniable achievements serve to rewrite the conventional narrative of New Orleans' history. The rich and varied culture of New Orleans is seen in its food, music, traditions and architecture. History professor, Dr. Mary Mitchell, says that New Orleans has its own rhythm and energy that is influenced by Africans, Native Americans and European settlers and she gave us a taste of New Orleans as we soaked up the world flavors in the French Quarter.…

Their guest, Miss Vivian Leigh Battle Sims, an educator, artist, and community leader, has dedicated her life to uplifting the stories of marginalized voices, including the unsung Black Union soldiers who fought bravely during the Civil War. At 87 years old, Miss Sims discovered the existence of the United States Colored Troops (USCT) while living in Pulaski. This revelation ignited a mission to honor their courage and sacrifice through a self-funded statue called Resurrection of Valor . Positioned as a beacon of hope and resilience, the statue challenges Pulaski's dark history and inspires future generations by showcasing the valor and strength of Black soldiers. During this heartfelt conversation, Miss Sims shares her experiences as an educator, her struggles against systemic racism, and her innovative mentorship program for young Black men. These efforts profoundly impacted her community and improved academic outcomes for countless students. Tonya and Ian also reveal a surprising family connection to Miss Sims, adding an emotional depth to their dialogue about identity, legacy, and the transformative power of storytelling. Through this episode, you'll discover how Miss Sims turned obstacles into opportunities, reshaped a town's narrative, and preserved the memory of heroes who were nearly erased from history. Resurrection of Valor is not just a monument but a symbol of pride, unity, and the enduring legacy of Black Americans who fought for freedom and justice. Key Topics Covered: The Story of Pulaski, Tennessee: From the birthplace of the KKK to a beacon of change. Miss Sims' Journey of Discovery: Learning about Black Union soldiers at age 87.
