Our journey begins at Congo Square and Louis Armstrong Park as we explore the spirit of the oldest African American neighborhood in the US.

We'll uncover how this neighborhood's freedom was curtailed after the Civil War and learn about the history of the Ku Klux Klan and its numerous persecutions in this area.

As we stroll through the picturesque streets lined with distinctive characteristic architecture, we will discover the so-called "Creole" houses. Of course, we will delve into the history of jazz and learn how the origins of this revolutionary music are rooted in the Treme district.
