Historical Marker Unveiled to Commemorate Black Business District on Claiborne Avenue

A new historical marker has been unveiled in New Orleans to honor the rich history of the Black business district that once thrived on Claiborne Avenue before its destruction for the construction of Interstate 10. This significant event acknowledges the cultural and economic contributions of the Black community to the area, which was a bustling hub of commerce and social activity.

The marker serves as a poignant reminder of the displacement caused by urban development and the impact on local residents and businesses. Community leaders, historians, and residents gathered to celebrate the unveiling, reflecting on the legacy of the businesses that once flourished there. The event highlighted the importance of remembering and preserving the history of marginalized communities, ensuring that their stories are not forgotten.

As the city continues to evolve, this historical marker stands as a testament to the resilience of the Black community and a call to honor their contributions to New Orleans' cultural landscape.
