Legendary Cities : New Orleans And its French heritage
New Orleans, Louisiana: the home of Mardi Gras, and the musical and cultural hotbed of the southern United States. The city’s culture derived itself from a blend of French, Spanish, African-American, Creole and Native American roots. We explore her streets lined with French colonial-style buildings, and resonate with her vibrant atmosphere, along the promenades full of revelry and street music.
Featuring aerial footage of this city of revelry along the Mississipi, an inside look at landmarks such as the “Napoleon’s House”, the St Louis Cathedral, and more, we get a taste of Louisiana’s colorful history. Under French colonial rule it was a place where France sent their prostitutes, smugglers, counterfeiters and other petty criminals to start new lives. It became a haven and the beating heart of a vibrant, longstanding African-American community with deep roots. And even after the city’s destruction during Hurricane Katrina, the city dances on, celebrating life…

Sybil Morial Interview
1978 Election of Ernest Dutch Morial, New Orleans's First Black Mayor
The daughter of a well-respected physician in New Orleans, Sybil grew up in a middle-class, integrated neighborhood in New Orleans during the 1940s and 50s. After graduating from Boston University, where she met fellow student Martin Luther King Jr., Sybil became the first African-American to teach in the Newton, Massachusetts public-school system. Upon returning to New Orleans, Sybil participated in some of the first tests for integration attempting to enroll at both Tulane and Loyola. In 1962, she was the lone plaintiff in a successful challenge to a statute prohibiting public-school teachers from being involved in any organization advocating civil rights. She also formed the Louisiana League of Good Government to help African-American citizens register to vote. By necessity and choice, Sybil, her late husband Ernest “Dutch” Morial, and their five children became legal, then political activists. She channeled her energy into organizations such as the Louisiana League of Good Government and the Civic, Cultural and Social Organization, which she and her friends formed because, at that time, the African-American women in Louisiana could not join the League of Women Voters. After serving in the Louisiana state legislature as the first African-American, her husband became the first black mayor of New Orleans in 1974. In 1994, Sybil’s oldest son, Marc, who is now president of the National Urban League, would also begin two terms as mayor.

At the heart of NOLA are the people, a very diverse population ranging from Native Americans, French, Spanish, Africans, and other subsequent waves of immigrants.

History Is Lunch: Clay Williams, The Glorious 8th of January! A Date Forgotten in History
On January 8, 2020, Clay Williams presented “The Glorious 8th of January! A Date Overlooked in History” as part of the History Is Lunch series.
On January 8, 1815, the British and United States armies faced off in the Battle of New Orleans, the last major engagement of the War of 1812. The U.S. troops under General Andrew Jackson decisively defeated the superior British forces.
“Because a peace treaty had been sent from England before the Battle of New Orleans, that conflict’s significance has been misunderstood and minimized,” said Williams. “But news of the Treaty of Ghent had not reached America by January 8, and the overwhelming victory destroyed the plans of the British to seize the lands of the Louisiana Purchase.”
The Battle of New Orleans helped solidify the United States’ independence. The force gathered to defend the city typified the diverse country the nation had become. Andrew Jackson’s triumphs in the Creek War along with his leadership in the Battle of New Orleans propelled him to the presidency.
“In later years January 8 lost its prominence,” said Williams. “But the U.S. victory on that day was truly one of the most significant military events in the nation’s history.”
Clay Williams is co-author of Battle for the Southern Frontier, the Creek War and the War of 1812 with Mike Bunn. He holds a BA and MA from Mississippi State University. Since 1999, Williams has been employed with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, where he currently oversees operations for the Eudora Welty House and Garden, Manship House Museum, Old Capitol Museum, Winterville Mounds, Historic Jefferson College, and Grand Village of the Natchez Indians. Williams has published articles in the Journal of Mississippi History and Mississippi History Now, and he and Bunn are writing a volume in the Heritage of Mississippi Series on Frontier Mississippi (1800-1840).
History Is Lunch is a weekly lecture series of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History that explores different aspects of the state's past. The hour-long programs are held in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Museum of Mississippi History and Mississippi Civil Rights Museum building in Jackson. MDAH livestreams videos of the program at noon on Wednesdays on their Facebook page,
