082020 Confederate Street Names Map

This New Orleans Historical tour comes from the wealth of stories resulted from the New Orleans City Council Street Renaming Commission's (CCSRC) nomination process. In 2019, the CCSRC began the process of replacing the street names of Confederates and white supremacists with those of New Orleans artists, activists, and innovators who made positive contributions to the city's history.

With more nominees than available streets, community partners including the Midlo Center, NOLA4Women and the City Archives & Special Collections at the New Orleans Public Library, created educational tools to share these stories with the public.
