From the slaves and indentured servants who drained the swamps, erected the buildings, constructed the levees, and dug the canals to the Freedom Riders who fought for racial equality in a segregated South, New Orleans history and black history in America are intricately connected.

Williams, founder of the Peoples Defense League Ernest Wright, and civil rights attorney A.P.
