DESCRIPTION:A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition Film Showing & Discussion\n\n“Faubourg 
 Tremé—The Untold Story of Black New Orleans”\n\nA documentary film 
 about the radical Black history of New Orleans on the 6th anniversary of 
 the Hurricane Katrina tragedy\n\nFaubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black 
 New Orleans was largely shot before the Katrina tragedy but edited 
 afterward, giving the film both a celebratory and elegiac tone. It is a 
 film of such effortless intimacy, subtle glances and authentic details that 
 only two native New Orleanians could have made it.\n\nDuring slavery, 
 Faubourg Tremé—a neighborhood near the French Quarter—was home to the 
 largest community of free Black people in the Deep South and a hotbed of 
 political ferment. Black and white, free and enslaved, rich and poor 
 co-habitated, collaborated, and clashed to create much of what defines New 
 Orleans culture up to the present day.\n\nThe film tells the history of the 
 radical roots of this New Orleans community where during slavery, Black 
 people could earn their freedom and purchase a house. Where sit-ins, almost 
 a century before Rosa Parks, won the integration of public transportation.  
 \n\nThe film concludes with the new challenges facing the Black community 
 after the Katrina disaster. It does not just commemorate, but reminds us 
 that U.S. society still confronts the same battles that the residents of 
 Tremé have waged through two centuries—demands for economic justice, 
 voting rights, equal education, decent public services, in short, full 
 citizenship for African Americans. 2007, 67 min.\n\n$6 donation (no one 
 turned away for lack of funds)\n
