Intro: Shake It Fo Ya Hood by Ricky B
Cierra Introduction (Opening): My name is Cierra Chenier and I'm the owner of Noir Nola, which is a brand that is highlighting the history, politics, lagniappe, and soul of black New Orleans and through this platform, um, I combine historical accuracy with cultural relevancy.
I use this to tell black New Orleans stories through black New Orleans and using this as a way to control our own narratives and create something that is to and for us.
Interview: Treme was actually, the land was actually a plantation, which was named after Claude Treme. Who conveniently acquired this plantation from a former enslaved women that he married. The enslaved woman, whose name was Julie Monroe, acquired this plantation, and when they got married, he obviously had access to it as well.
And conveniently for him he named it after himself. Subdivided the property and you had Treme Plantation, and through that land, although it was named after a slave owner and a plantation owner; it truly was the black people that lived there that cemented into history the Treme what it is and what is was.
New Orleans was very unique in the sense that free people of color owned property here, and Treme had a very high population of free people of color. Who were entrepreneurs, they owned property in the Treme right outside of the French Quarters which was just unheard of.
You had people like Tommy Lafon, who was a philanthropist and who … came up on some money, a whole lot of money and gave it all to black children and built schools across the city and donated to places like Sisters of the Holy Family and St. Mary’s Academy and Dillard University and really prioritized education and well being of black New Orleans children.
Even in the Treme you have St. Augustine Church, the oldest black catholic church in the nation and its just things like that , that … the Treme is really one area in New Orleans where, it truly is black excellence. And then whether you talking about years later with, you know, you have Dooky Chase and how important Ms. Chase was to the Civil Rights movement.
If you want to talk about under the bridge and how Claiborne Avenue was a black owned business district um with the Circle Food Store at the corner and even that being a black owned grocery store, which provided with everything from a dentist, a chiropractor. You get your school uniforms upstairs, you cash your check, you get your groceries. It was truly what a self sufficient black community looked like.
Outside footage (background noise): So Claiborne Avenue what we know as under the bridge was a home to many things at one point in the 1950s to 1960s. You had large beautiful oak trees going all the way down. As you can see that are still painted on these columns and the area was basically like a park, a meeting area where people in the neighborhood would come sit under the shade, children would play.
And more famously, would have the black Mardi Gras traditions, where the indians, the Mardi Gras Indians would stop under the bridge and celebrate those traditions that we actually still do today.
Closing: The Treme really is like the jewel of New Orleans and it was truly a place where and still is where a lot of our traditions were able to thrive.

*Living With a Legend Title appear*
Parnell: Hello Sydney.
Sydney: Hi. Why don’t you introduce yourself?
Parnell: Ok. Well, Hi. I’m Parnell Herbert. I’m the godfather of the most beautiful young lady *Video of Parnell Ervin* in the world.
*Black Screen* *Then drawings with four faces* *Music begins to play* *The Blank Panther Image With Man Holding Fist In The Air* * The President’s Commission on White House Fellowship Pin Picture* *Free All The Angola 3 picture* *Witness The True Story of the Angola 3 picture* *Picture Parnell Ervin*
Sydney: Legend a noun that describes a person or thing that inspires. Parnell Herbert can be described in many ways godfather, community activist, leader, and a pioneer for equality and justice for all mankind. By doing this, he continues to advocate for change inspiring the world around him. A living legend.
*Black Screen~Start from the beginning*
Parnell: I was born...um at Charity Hospital in New Orleans on the colored side. When I was born the hospital was separated from coloreds to white. And um. It was back in 1948, family lived in the Lafleet projects we actually lived in a one bedroom apartment and there was nine people in that house back during that era growing up in the project was more of a family environment. Today is where all the projects considered rough or violent. But back then it was a wonderful place to grow up. I was alittle bit of a problem child. I was suspended three times in the first ten months in the tenth grade and after the third suspension, I just decided why go back? Everytime I go back all they do just suspend me again and it was all about blaming them not me. So after that first year, I just thought I would go back to clark and they wouldn’t take me back. So I had to go to Booker T. Washington, but by then I had gotten use to making my own money and being what I call the man. At sixteen years old, I decided I didn’t want to stay in school so I dropped out of Booker T. Washington but I knew that for me their were three paths to take either be killed in the streets, become addicted to drugs, or wind up in prison. My two older brothers were both in the navy at the time and they convinced me that I should join the navy. So I joined the navy and that was a big change in my life, worked on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier for three and a half years and that was the most exciting period of my life. This feeling explains a feeling of power and energy from this aircraft fueling the plane loading the bombs on the plane and this was during Vietnam so um during that era I actually did a three cruises to Vietnam from the ages of 17 to 20 years old. At that time the voting age was 21 and the drinking age was 21 I went to Vietnam and back three times. I could not vote nor could I buy a drink.
*Black screen with question~ How did you become a community activist and help the Angola 3?*
A community activist was long before I became involved with Angola 3. I went to a workshop an organization called People’s Institute For Survival And Beyond it’s a multiracial multigenerational organization that deals with the undoing of racism. Their policy or their philosophy is racism is created by man, anything created by man can be dismantled by man. During that time one of the things that I um..one of the missions that I have adopted was the Angola 3. Angola 3 was three men who were incarcerated at Louisiana state penitentiary in Angola Louisiana. And they were framed for a murder that they did not commit while they were in the prison. My daughter Shauran came home and told me she met a man who had said he had been in solitary confinement for twenty-nine years. And she insisted that this guys name was Robert King. Said it was Robert King, Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox. You know said, well wait a minute I grew up with a guy named Albert Woodfox And she said hold up come on ….Let’s look at the computer! His photograph came up of the kid that I grew up with. You know I said that’s Fox the guy I grew up with and that’s when I got serious about learning about Angola 3 and their plight. And those brothers their story was amazing. Robert King the brother that she met actually did twenty-nine years in solitary and eventually he was exonerated and released. Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox remained in Angola in solitary and Herman did forty-two years in solitary. He was exonerated and released and two days after his released he died. He was home but he did get to die a free man. Okay fast forward, two years ago Albert Woodfox on his seventieth birthday was exonerated and released and now he is home and he is doing fantastically well it was a couple of lawsuits that they had found, they won those suits and Fox bought himself a house and a car. He bought his daughter a house and a car. He’s taking care of his family, his grandchildren and he is just doing fantastic. It does my heart good to think of where this brother came from, what he went through and where he is now. It’s a wonderful thing to see.
* Black screen Tell me about the Angola 3 play you wrote*
I realized that part of their problem was that no one knew of their plight. One of the things I thought I could do was to help expose their plight and bring it out to the publics eye. So I did the play, I wrote the play Angola 3 and told their story and whatever manner I could tell it as a playwright. That was after my first play the Motherland before they came because I’ve always been political because everything I’ve done. I don’t know. Throughout life really it’s been political. Alot of people like to compare them to Nelson Mandela. Brother Mandela spent eighteen years in solitary But um…well…. these brothers when Albert Woodfox got out he has spent forty-four years in solitary confinement. Longer than anyone in documented history. These brothers have become panthers and as panthers but they were trying to do is humanized the penitentiary that they were in. Angola was the most brutal penitentiary in the nation. Inmate rapes, beatings, segregations, it’s a horrible place to be. Theses brothers got indoctrinated into the black panther party, they adopted the ten point plan with the black panthers. And they put an end to an inmate rape in that penitentiary. They put an end to the abuse. They fought very hard and that’s why they were framed for murder they did not commit in that penitentiary to silence them to break the hold that the panthers were doing because the penitentiaries feeling like we cannot have the inmates around the asylum. It was all about shutting them down so they were framed for these murders but even while they were in solitary confinement they were still able to do the work they were doing before and preventing some of these young inmates from being raped, brutalized, better conditions at the penitentiary.
*Black Screen So what comes after?
What comes after well I tried to lead a much normal life as I could. I can tell you right now I still work for the People’s Institute For Survival and Beyond. We continue to do undoing racism workshops. I’ve become very close to Robert King, and Albert Woodfox The two surviving members of Angola 3. About a year ago...a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and because of the early detection I was able to get proton therapy and proton therapy cured my cancer. So I sit here now cancer free. Again because of early detection, That’s the message that I carry now. I go to places, I hang out with people and I talk about it. Especially black males
* Black Screen - Would new orleans still be home?*
New orleans was not not a bad thing. I see so many advantages elsewhere .At one point I wanted to live in San Diego. In fact for my travel….during my travel in the navy I went to several different companies and states and cities. I always said that there are two places that I saw that I would like to live, If I didn’t live in New Orleans. One was San diego, California and the other was Vancouver Canada. They were just very clean and there was just flowers on the interstate, instead of trees and weeds like we have here. Opportunities in all the wrong places. New orleans is not a very opportunistic city and I would suggest for the young people growing up today it’s fine New Orleans is a good city you’ve got your family, friends, a culture and traditions but there are opportunities elsewhere .
Alright and we’re done

Thank you

Amy Muhammad (intro): Amy Muhammad, born and raised in New Orleans, grew up in Pontchartrain Park, one of the black first subdivisions in New Orleans, for so-called middle class.
Hmm, went to elementary school in the neighborhood, went to McDonogh 35, which, is a college prep that a lot of blacks went to. My mother went there, my brother, nephews, and nieces. That' about it.
Hadiah: Okay, what was your experience growing up in New Orleans if you could recall?
Amy Muhammad: Such as...
Hadiah: (laughs) like, what were things that you did, enjoyed about it? Just moments of childhood that you remember in New Orleans.
Amy Muhammad: Umm, well, I stayed very close to Lake Pontchartrain, walking distance, 5 minutes away so we used to walk to the lake and go swimming... or play in the water cause I didn't really swim, my brothers tried to teach me how to swim cause they were lifeguards there.
Hadiah: Uhuh
Amy Muhammad: Ummm, cause that was a hangout at the time. The other thing we used to do growing up was uh, we would have crawfish and crab boils. Or we would go to the local seafood shop and just buy big, they would do like sacks of crawfish and you take them home and you be in your backyard on the table, throw some newspaper down, dump it on the newspaper, and just sit there and eat the crawfish or the crab. Grown folks would drink beer, children would have soft drinks as their drink.
Hadiah: Using 3 words how would you describe New Orleans? How would you describe home?
Amy Muhammad: New Orleans, (pauses) for the most part, I'd say the people are genuine, friendly, umm you kinda got the best of both worlds. You got a kind of a big city, metropolitan feel, but it was small enough that it wasn't too big where people were cold. You know where you walk down the street, you didn't have to know anybody you could always speak to somebody where ever you go, which was a big difference when I got here to Chicago. We speak down south.
Hadiah: (laughs) umm a question that I just had was, did you experience racism while living in New Orleans?
Amy Muhammad: You know what? I did, and my brothers did more so than me because the age that they went to high school, they integrated, my two older brothers integrated a high school, and they were getting into trouble for no reason, having fights. I didn't experience that because the high school that I went to, like I said was a black high school, but it was well known.
I can remember in grade school, I think 6th grade I experienced racism because we happened to have a white teacher. For whatever reason, she would never..I would raise my hand she would never call on me, but she would call on the lighter skinned girls. That's a big thing in New Orleans, light-skinned complexion.
Hadiah: Colorism.
Amy Muhammad: And I did experience some in Junior High, that was a mixed high school, but not like my older brothers. I did experience more of that that when I was grown, not so much for my age. It was Junior High, not High School, the high school was pretty much all black. I think not until I went to college, and I went to LSU for a few years, I can say I experienced it there but not like my brothers.
Hadiah: So, how often do you visit home, and what is a few staple items that you have to get when you go to New Orleans?
Amy Muhammad: You want me to tell my business? Ummm, once or twice a year. Usually around Thanksgiving, not that I really celebrate thanksgiving but it is an opportunity, where a lot of my family, they make it a time that they come together to see everybody so... Nieces and nephews whatever they, if they not living in New Orleans they will travel there for Thanksgiving. So it's like a mini family reunion with more immediate family members, we just have a really good time. Staple items? Ummm that would be certain spices, like fresh bay leaves from my nephew's tree. Ummm I don't know what I take back, but when I go there one of things I wanna do that I can't get here is like snowballs and po'boy sandwiches. Those are the 2 main things.
Hadiah: Okay... So about the cafe, what made you open a New Orleans style cafe in Chicago?
Amy Muhammad: Wasn't me, it was my husband Arron, it was his idea. and I'm, I am the cafe where candy is my recipe, the beignets is my recipe, and I give the cafe legitimacy about being authentic since I'm from there.
Hadiah: (laughs) So do you know what made him want to open a New Orleans style cafe?
Amy Muhammad: Well one time when we were down there, we were in the French Quarter walking past Cafe Du Monde and he saw the line, it was like down the block almost around the corner, and I guess he was like dang they waiting like this... And anytime you go there it's 24/7there's always people that be out there. So I guess he was like we could bring it up here. It was really like, that was his idea.
Hadiah: So, do you know what elements of New Orleans culture that he mainly wanted to incorporate in the cafe?
Amy Muhammad: Well the beignets, which is food and then Ummm, you have the music, we actually have music playing you can't hear it now it's not loud enough. The music the food and as you see there is a lot of beads and stuff, the Mardi Gras theme. So those were the main things.
Hadiah: And the last question that I have, do you get a sense of content or relief while making the pralines or the beignets?
Amy Muhammad: Yes! Cooking in general, yeah, yes ma'am I do.
Hadiah: Are there any last comments you would like to say? Well, actually I had another question. So, about, what advice would you give to a student coming to New Orleans for the first time for school?
Amy Muhammad: They need to stay focused cause it easy to get distracted in New Orleans because it is a "party city", but that's gonna always be there. Enjoy what you can in I'll say righteousness and not get too crazy cause New Orleans will let you get crazy beyond I would say which is respectable, don't get lost in that. Enjoy the food, enjoy the people, enjoy the weather when it's not so humid.
Hadiah: And that's it!
Amy Muhammad: That's it!

Amyre: (Intro) Second line paraders are the descendants of the city’s famous jazz funerals and, they carry many of the same traditions with them as they march down the streets. There are dozens of different second line parades put on throughout the year, usually on Sunday afternoons, and held in the French Quarter and neighborhoods all across the city.
This the story of Jayla Nash. She is a 9 year old Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana. Ever since her first second line she has been named the bay of Second Line.
When was your first second line parade?
Jayla “Bean” Nash: Four
Amyre: Four. Okay!
With four years old being your first second lone parade, How old are you now?
Jayla “Bean” Nash: Nine
Amyre: Which one would you say is your favorite experience?
Jayla “Bean” Nash: I think my favorite experience was when I was four.
Amyre: Who are some of your family members that have participated in second line with you?
Jayla “Bean” Nash: The whole, entire family! Like… its their thing. And we have our own band called Family Ties and its broken up into two groups. There’s the Alligators, I don’t know why they call them that, and there’s the Jazz Ladies.
-Video begins-
Jayla “Bean” Nash: Some background knowledge of when I was younger… two maybe. My mom was in the second line and they came out at Joe Mack. And my mom said, “When you saw me, I was like, hey Mom” and then when my auntie came out I was like Hey Auntie, Hey, Hey(waving)! And then she was in her feelings for a little while and I said ma (chuckle) it was a long time ago.
-Video ends-
Amyre: Being the mother of Jayla, what influenced you to want to bring your child into it?
LaToya Kirton: It wasn’t that I wanted to bring her into it, she just had… its like she almost had a feeling for it. She loved it she, she danced, she liked the music so it was like natural for her. So it wasn’t too big of a deal for me to have her to go out in second line.
Amyre: That’s really sweet! And she was telling me that her first one was at the age of four. Was that her first when she could remember or did she have one earlier?
LaToya Kirton: That’s what she could remember. Jayla started second line at the age of two. Every year it’s a different color and every year it’s a different theme, every year. And it’s no; it’s just… it’s almost like. You can’t. You can’t do the same thing twice. We probably would make eight. Actually participate, we do one. We come out the first Sunday of every October. For us Family Ties, that’s our name. So it’s all family and the ties are ties in together they know us some kind of way whether it was a neighbor, a childhood friend, but that, if you hear us you know we’re all family.
