Faubourg Treme: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans
USA l 2007 l 79 minutes
A deeply personal documentary reflecting on the rich history of New Orleans' vibrant African American neighborhood. Progressive and racially mixed from its founding in the late 1700s, Tremé represented the largest community of free Black people in the antebellum Deep South. When the railroad segregated public transportation, it was Tremé resident Homer Plessy who defied the practice, leading to the fateful 1896 Supreme Court decision establishing the “separate but equal” doctrine.
