Do you know Sally asher? I've been researching blues/jazz/ragtime/folk missus and barrelhouses andor juke joint in nola. Eventually, I'd like to get down there and take both if your tours

Takes me right back to our visit in 2017! Thanks, Libby.

Thanks for this little trip. I am having a cocktail on this Friday night, actually! Well done, Libby. Monica from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Ignace Francois Broutin was my 6x Great Grand Father . He designed the 1st Ursulines Convent and the 1st St Louis Church and other building and home in the city. I am related to the original 1st settlers of New Orleans .

Thanks, hmm

Great show on the Garden district from Utah full Native American Ute been to New Orleans many times

The Ursuline nuns established an academy in Pittsburgh,Pa and was a prestigious girls school. It's now a restaurant and a bed and breakfast.

What do you think of the movie,PRETTY BABY ,and how it showed Storyville ?

'PromoSM' 💦

Very good😂

Great information on Jazz. Storyville was known also as the sex area to locate the high class mulato women of mixed ancestry.

From England, I went to an Ursuline Convent in BELGIUM as my dad was in the army

Thank you! A great tour!

Thank you for this. As it turns out I am a direct descendant of his brother and “business” partner, Pierre. I hope to get down there to see the old haunts for myself.

Real indias was black tell the truth. Black's was in America b4 slavery enough is enough

I liked her the moment she started, but she needs to look at the camera more -- that's us, honey! -- not the screen

Great information. I was watching Billy holiday and Louis Armstrong Farewell to Storyville video and got here…

What a great presentation. I am a photographer and I spend a great deal of time photographing New Orleans. I have always been fascinated by Storyville, both wandering the streets and flying my drone over the area, looking for some evidence that remains. I really enjoyed this presentation and the old photographs. Thank you.

Thanks for the fabulous insight and historical context. Just walked the Storyville district today on the first visit to NOLA. Took in Eagle Saloon and Congo Square as a pilgrimage. Hope the tours have opened up for you again. I'll be sure to look up your services next run through. Cheers!

Outstanding video. To hear that Celeste was Bernard's sister is great new info for me. I'm a local tour guide. Excellent work. I've subscribed. Thanks again. Ron

But Truman Capote did live with his mother and her boyfriend in the Monteleone for several years in his boyhood, and was often left alone there, which upset him as a child. However, it set into motion his storytelling skills, which he learned to preoccupy himself with.

Hi

I went to Villa Maria in Frontenac Minnesota. The school is now closed but I had a great education.

Super interesting video and very informative, but I wish you spoke a lot more about black history as well as history of jazz because I think it’s vital to understanding the history of New Orleans or any Southern city. Black people in the South after slavery ended weren’t just poor like everyone else because of the war but because they had not been paid for all the grueling labor they did while being in the U.S. And crop production declined so much not just because of city-wide poverty from the war, but because of black freedom and the fact that they were no longer forced to be cultivating crops that white people were profiting off of. Black people ended up being sifted into working class jobs throughout the South because there weren’t ANY sort of reparations made that tried to make up for their enslavement and they didn’t have any generational wealth to allow them the opportunity to seek out education or well-paying jobs, and that in combination with white racism and the creation of Jim Crow made it so that black people in the South still had an inferior economic position to whites. They weren’t free and didn’t have opportunity for upward economic growth or mobility within the American capitalist system. This position has resulted in long-lasting generational poverty that has largely continued over the past 150ish years and black people are in general much less wealthy than whites still today due to this. Also in terms of “freedom” from slavery like you’re talking about, it’s important to explain the complexity that you briefly mention-that Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 didn’t free enslaved people from slavery until around 1865 because news travelled very slowly throughout the country and white slaveholders in the South resisted the change. The actual day that the first enslaved people were freed was on June 19th, 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Texas and proclaimed their freedom-this has resulted in the creation of the holiday Juneteenth that celebrates black freedom from slavery. Anyways, the image of enslaved people rejoicing in freedom that many picture when hearing of the Emancipation Proclamation is entirely incorrect and it is important to spend a lot of time actively seeking out the reality of black history in the U.S. and explain the complexities around slavery and freedom from slavery instead of just explaining the civil war as “freeing” enslaved people (even in a short history of a Southern city), particularly because American history is written from a perspective of white men and intentionally ignores the history of black people and the reality of the oppression that they have put and continue to put onto other groups, and when we study history the truth of this oppression is often concealed from us and we have to seek it out. I’m sure there is a lot more complexity to speak about on this topic, but I think these points are the most vital to bring up in a history of any Southern city.

Thank you for this tour - it was really great! I enjoyed your tour last year and was glad to see you back at the conference this year!

Welp I've lived my entire life and had no clue Bienville was covered in tats.

Great job narrating and giving context to events.

I'm not gonna lie! This is very interesting!! I wish this was the history we was taught In school instead of that garbage they pushed down our throats

Thank you for the info. We are planning on a visit to Galveston Island to visit his old house location and this has been great background info for us.

I’ve been really impressed by your video tours, I grew up on the West Bank but still familiar with many of you stops, keep up the great work 💪💪

Love the stories

Took me right back to NOLA, I wanna go back

Great content! I love New Orleans! In fact, I would love to live there. I’ve visited twice and hope to visit again soon. I’m very drawn to it! It has a vibe like none other. Being a tour guide has to be one of the best jobs. I would love it. There’s so much history.🤓

Happy to see you again! Thank you!!

Hello!

Thank you for sharing the works of the Usulines. Blue Angel from The College of New Rochelle

One story that you didn't mention but maybe you should have was the late 1910s axe murders in New Orleans (which were never solved) but which touches on the history of jazz music, since there was a letter that the Times-Picayune had received, as signed by an individual who identified themselves as a demon, during the midst of the ongoing crisis, that said that the murderer would strike again on a certain night but was willing to leave any house alone where jazz music was being played (as things turned out there were no murders that night).

I attended Xavier 90-93. I love the content.

Awesome Content!!!

Born and raised in Louisiana, lived in NOLA for years. Hands down the best quick history of Louisiana/New Orleans on KZbin.
