Introducing New Orleans: Its History, Culture, and People
Below sea level, subject to hurricanes, home of swamps, alligators, and crayfish, New Orleans presides over the Mississippi River. Why would Thomas Jefferson dispatch an envoy to France to purchase this town for the fledgling United States? How did this town come to be synonymous with good food, jazz, the French Quarter, and Mardi Gras? Journey with us to the Crescent City, and celebrate its contribution to America's past, present, and future. Laissez les bon temps roulez!
When: Wednesday, February 15,
