After watching Faubourg Treme – The Untold Story of New Orleans, I was sadden by how many people seemed frustrated at how one-sided their history was being portrayed in textbooks, especially on the overlook of the people of Faubourg’s contributions to civil rights in American culture. This made me reflect on how many historical events that are taught in classroom settings are frequently one-sided. More specifically, historical events often portrayed in a different perspective, depending on where you live and who has the most power in having their voices and stories heard. For example, when Christopher Columbus had sailed the ocean blue, many had viewed him as this hero. Only recently, America’s image of Christopher Columbus has changed significantly and now recognizes him as a controversial figure for murdering indigenous people (especially Native Americans). Therefore, it is important for people to listen and consider narratives (especially those that do not align with history’s textbooks) of historical events so that these voices are not lost within history. Although the story of Faubourg Treme may not be commonly heard of, making this documentary is a good stepping stone in the right direction.
