REACH Center

Coworking Space, 3rd Floor

A free program examining African American resilience and progress after the Civil War.

The free, half-day program will delve into the lives of African Americans during Reconstruction (1865-1877), a period of immense transformation and hope following the Civil War. Moderated by Mark Roudané, whose great-great-grandfather co-founded The New Orleans Tribune, the event will feature insight from leading scholars including Justene Hill Edwards on the Freedman’s Bank, Tera Hunter on family reunification and William D. Jones on the Freedman’s Bureau and Home Colonies.

In partnership with the Historic New Orleans Collection.
