About this listen
Today, Charles shares his work as a PhD in Urban Studies who conducted extensive research on the history and development of New Orleans East. We explore the East's rise as a suburban hub, its decline due to economic and social factors, and the ongoing challenges it faces. Charles explains how his dissertation aims to dispel misconceptions and create an accurate narrative about the area’s potential for revitalization.
We dive into the historical shifts, including the East's transformation into a predominantly Black middle-class community, the unfulfilled promises of revitalization, and its significance as a gateway to the city. Together, we discuss actionable steps needed to change the narrative and create meaningful investment in this vital part of New Orleans.
