In this class we explore the history of New Orleans from the 1500s to current times, covering French, Spanish and American rule, and the saints, sinners and saviors of each government. We’ll trace how New Orleans went from being the capital of a Catholic colony to an American and southern city, and how and why it still survives.
This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
