Tremé: A Legacy Of Resilience And Culture

Tremé, the oldest Black neighborhood in the U.S., thrives as a hub of resilience, artistry, and activism. It was the first place where enslaved Africans and free people of color could build together, laying the foundation for the earliest Civil Rights movements in the 1800s. Home to legendary musicians and artists, Tremé remains a beacon of community power and cultural expression.

Congo Square: The Heartbeat Of New Orleans

At the corner of Rampart and St. Ann, Louis Armstrong Park and Congo Square stand as living testaments to New Orleans’ cultural legacy. In the early 1800s, Congo Square became the only legal gathering place for enslaved people—a sacred space where they preserved African traditions through music, dance, and commerce. That rhythmic heartbeat shaped New Orleans music and continues to echo today.

Louis Armstrong Park & Municipal Auditorium

Tremé, a center of Afro-Creole culture, was targeted for urban renewal in the mid-20th century, displacing generations of families. Completed in 1981, the park honors Louis Armstrong, the legendary musician whose talent and charisma made him a global icon. Within the park, the 1929 Municipal Auditorium—once a hub for concerts, graduations, and sporting events—remains shuttered since Hurricane Katrina. Plans are underway to restore it as a cultural centerpiece.
