2005 History of New Orleans, Parts I and II

Instructor: Julia Hargrove 

New Orleans is a rich gumbo of cultures: Spanish and French creoles, Cajuns, the descendants of slaves from Africa, the Choctaws and other Native American tribes, and Vietnamese immigrants from the mid-1970’s. Thus, we have Andrew Jackson and the pirate Jean Laffite, zydeco and jazz, jambalaya and beignets, Mardi Gras and Super Bowls, Catholicism and Voodoo, Jim Bowie and Marie Laveau. Come with me on a trip to historic New Orleans and “laissez les bon temps rouler!”

Julia Hargrove: MA in American History from the University of Texas at Austin; BA with a double major in History and English from WSC (now WSCU) in Gunnison, Colorado.  She was a high school teacher for thirty years and was a professional writer of educational materials.
