Short description of the slideshow above...

The first three pictures were taken during a Slave Revolt Tour on the second day of our trip. The headstone is dedicated to John Hall, a Civil War soldier who revamped the Slave Revolt of 1811 after he returned from the Civil War. If you notice the bottom of the headstone you’ll see “U.S.C.” which stands for United States Color, given to black soldiers of the Civil War. The rest of pictures are depiction of the Lower 9th Ward community. Most houses are just as broken as the houses shown in the slideshow. These pictures of worth a million words so if you have any questions leave a comment and I’ll answer them the best I can.
