Anyone visiting New Orleans is immediately struck by the city's distinct atmosphere—Spanish moss draping from old oak trees, alligators, vibrant cuisine, jazz music, streetcars clattering through historic neighborhoods, voodoo traditions, haunted graveyards, and the ever-present mighty Mississippi River. Many of the images in this gallery depict those elements, but also show white gentry from the Garden District arriving at St. Louis Cathedral for Easter Sunday Mass in horse-drawn carriages. The Garden District is a neighborhood long associated with affluence, grand antebellum architecture, and manicured gardens. This district reflects a legacy of white wealth and privilege rooted in the Old South. Yet, intertwined with its beauty is a history marked by segregation and racial inequality. While observing the New Orleans Easter festivities, I'm reminded that echoes of Jim Crow and cultural relics of that era may still linger beneath the surface of this unique and charming city.
