The documentary, The Untold Story of Black New Orleans was very intriguing and informative. The rich, black history of America is often sidelined or unlearned by academia. It was very interesting to learn about New Orleans’ black history from the perspective of people who lived and grew up there. The usage of recordings and interviews was really cool and I loved hearing people recount memories and experiences. There were also clips of events, children playing, and aspects of culture in the neighborhoods of New Orleans. It was very beautiful to see. At the same time, it was very sad and disheartening to hear about the struggles of black Americans and the comparisons of how people were ignored by the government pre-Civil Rights Era and even in contemporary times with Hurricane Katrina. Nonetheless, the history and culture of the people of New Orleans persevered. I learned many new things from this documentary and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about black history!
