The Sawyer Seminar at Tulane University presents a tour and talk in the Treme. Led by staff of the New Orleans African American Museum this experiential visit will feature significant sites in the Treme, ending with a meal, conversation, and performances at Congo Square.

This site visit is part of a three-part series of events, Sites of Memory: New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro: Exploring urban displacement in Treme and Valongo Wharf, highlighting community activism in New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro as ways to challenge disinvestment in Afro-descendant neighborhoods and raising questions about the tendency for these places to be subordinated to outward-facing urban “renewal”.
