Historical Monday with Freedom Riders and Treme'!
Happy Monday Everybody!
What a beautiful weekend....and what a beautiful Monday!
It's the Freedom Riders 50th Anniversary - Come to the Ashe Cultural Arts Center to welcome the 2011 Student Freedom Ride into New Orleans. The trek retraced the original 1961 journey that never made it into the city with current college students and original freedom riders. A street festival begins at 5:00 p.m. with a performance by the Young Audiences Brass Band....the bus is expected to arrive at 6:00 p.m. with a reception to follow. At 8:00 p.m. in the center and on WYES (check your local cable/satellite provider for channel), a documentary titled "Freedom Riders" honoring the more than 400 individuals who participated in the protests will premier.
This Evening the Louisiana Landmarks Society presents "Why Treme?" the 30th Annual Martha Robinson Lecture tonight at 6:30 at the Historic New Orleans Collection (533 Royal). Lolis Edward Elie, a retired civil rights attorney, and his son, Lolis Eric Elie, a story editor for HBO’s Treme, have lived in the neighborhood for more than 20 years, a decision they made independently as adults. Both father and son will discuss why the neighborhood is important and why they chose to live there, and the younger Elie will discuss his 2008 film Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans. A reception will follow, and this lecture is FREE!
And Frenchmen and Decatur are kickin' with lots of music tonight!
