Overview
Soul of New Orleans: Black History That Can’t Be Erased
Walk through the untold story of New Orleans — from Indigenous Bulbancha to the Haitian Revolution, from the Mississippi River slave markets to the rhythms of Congo Square. Discover how Black resilience shaped the music, food, spirit, and soul of this city. You'll explore historic sites like Treme, Jackson Square, and the Lower 9th Ward, witnessing the triumphs and struggles that built the real New Orleans. Learn how young heroes like Ruby Bridges and Leona Tate carried the torch of Civil Rights, and how Hurricane Katrina exposed deep-rooted injustices still felt today. This tour honors the culture, courage, and survival that mainstream history often overlooks. Step into a journey that connects the past to the present — and feel the heartbeat of a people who refused to be erased.
