Today is another great day and as we continue our Black History Month celebration by providing tidbits or information nuggets. Our intent is the share information which celebrates African-Americans contribution to building our nation. As a diverse company, we take great pride of celebrating all cultures and our goal is not to be controversial or provide opinion, etc. .........even though that's the spirit of Blogging. Our basic our aim, in particular with our themes of highlighting various cultures is to share SOLID KNOWLEDGE that hopefully will aid your quest of learning something that perhaps you never knew, or reminding you of things you may have forgotten, but more important get you to think and engage!!!!!
Today's topic is Faubourg Tremé
Whether you celebrate Mardi Gras or not, or whether you've been to New Orleans or not – Faubourg Treme' is an excellent documentary that shares the rich history of how African-Americans helped developed the city and even though during the Slavery era many African-Americans were Freed Men who were active participants as homeowners and landowners. Most of us in Real Estate know homeownership is one key component to developing wealth as well as a legacy for your family. Interestingly, even though New Orleans (outside of the French Quarter) suffered tremendous blight and other urban issues prior to Hurricane Katrina, it was the devastating blow of the hurricane which wiped out generations of homes which had been passed down throughout all of these years.
Anyway, hope you find this information interesting, and as usual thanks for reading and chiming in with your comments J
