Tara Dudley joins our Modern Times lecture series with an exploration of New Orleans, both its antebellum architectural history and the legacy of that history in the years following the end of the United States Civil War. The lecture will be followed by a book signing for Dr. Dudley’s book: Building Antebellum New Orleans: Free People of Color and Their Influence.
This lecture will take place in person and online! To ensure the safety of our guests, speakers, and staff at the in person event, we request that all participate in safe social distancing and wear a mask at all times while inside the museum. Sanitation stations will be available to all guests.

Review of Building Antebellum New Orleans: Free People of Color and Their Influence
“Here, finally, is a book-length scholarly work wholly devoted to the role of free people of color in the building of New Orleans. Unlike countless other sources which passingly allude to this community’s architectural contributions, Tara Dudley’s research gives them names, lives, skill sets, accomplishments, and social and cultural context, focusing on members of the Dolliole and Soulié families. This important book will be of interest to scholars and general readers interested in architecture, urbanism, vernacular building, New Orleans and Louisiana history, Creole culture, and African American topics.”
