Creoles of Color in 19th Century New Orleans and their Culture and history

Children of slave women and white owners were often given their freedom either upon the death of the father or while still young. Thousands of free people of color arrived in New Orleans from Saint- Domingue (now Haiti) after the Slave revolts in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Many also came to New Orleans by way of Cuba after 1809. Although they did not have all of the rights of their white counterparts, many free people of color prospered in 19th century New Orleans As of the 1850's, The Free People of Color owned over 2 million dollars worth of property.

"If you're born in a neighborhood or town where the only high school is one where graduation is not the norm, how is this living in the land of equal opportunity?" asks Bob Balfanz, the researcher at Johns Hopkins University who defines such a school as a "dropout factory."

There are about 1,700 regular or vocational high schools nationwide that fit that description, according to an analysis of Education Department data conducted by Johns Hopkins for The Associated Press. That's 12 percent of all such schools, no more than a decade ago but no less, either.


Prof Lunine Jerome of Cambridge College speaks on that new recent study with Yves Cajuste of infohaiti.net

In 2007, there were several incidents involving nooses at the University of Maryland and Columbia University. The Maryland incident took place at a dorm in front of a minority's window. The Columbia incident took place at a professor's door.

In 2007, in Jena, Louisiana, a group of black teens fought a white teen who angered one of the members the weekend prior.A year earlier students hung nooses from a tree. While the school board dismissed this as a prank it raised racial tensions until the attack. The fight became a court case when the 6 black teenagers were arrested and charged for the fight. They are known as the Jena Six.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Following a rash of cases involving nooses, the state Legislature Monday (10/22/2007) moved toward making it a felony to display the symbol of lynchings in the Old South in a threatening manner. "We won't tolerate this," said Sen. Dean G. Skelos, a Long Island Republican who sponsored the measure that passed Monday in the Senate. "There is no place for racism and intimidation in America."

Terre Haute, IN. 10-25-2007 A noose was found in a tree on the campus of Indiana State. ISU police informed the FBI, who will look into possible "hate crime" violations.
