This session is made possible by the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. To learn more, visit our Partners page.

Join the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund on a tour of its New Orleans grantee sites, such as the Dew Drop Inn, TEP Center/McDonough 19, Dillard University, and St. Augustine's (part of its Preserving Black Churches program). Explore issues that affect African American historic sites, such as gentrification, climate change, and property loss and learn more about the city's rich African American history.  Lunch will be provided.

Participants travel by bus for a portion of the Field Study; however some brief walking will be required. Please dress appropriately with comfortable shoes and rain gear as appropriate. Water will be provided if you forget your water bottle.

Your badge is your ticket and has your session/time/date printed on the back. Please confirm your date/time before checking in. Some field studies run multiple times, and your ticket is session specific. 

Field studies will depart from the main doors of the Sheraton New Orleans on Canal Street. Check in at the field study table in the lobby at least 20 minutes before departure for bus assignments. It is imperative to be on time for field study departures. Buses will roll promptly at the time indicated on the schedule. 

If you miss a bus, there will be no refunds or transfers to other field studies. Unclaimed seats will be sold at departure time on a first come, first serve basis.

Please check the weather, dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes. It is recommended that you bring your own water bottle. 

Pre-Registration is required to attend this session.
