Dr. Avis Williams is just days away from stepping into the role of superintendent of New Orleans public schools. Today we look back on her interview with WWNO's Education reporter, Aubri Juhasz, to learn about her journey to this role and what she hopes to bring to the position.  Today is the fourth of July, and it's a time when many reflect on centuries of American history. But there are some who are concerned with preserving historical narratives every day.  In April, we spoke to one of the owners of Richardson Funeral Home in Amite, Louisiana, Valarie Richardson, and historian and genealogist Dr. Antoinette Harrell, to learn how they are using old funeral programs to unearth stories about the Black community. As we take today to celebrate the preservation of history,  we hear an encore of this conversation.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz.

I chat with genealogist Antoinette Harrell about her research on family histories of African-Americans (descendants of American chattel slavery) and the unique challenges that arise for this specific group when doing the legwork. We also discuss what the advent of DNA means in the quest for self-knowledge and the increasing need of families to record, question and to take interest in their lineage in a time where escapism through screens runs amok overshadowing the desire to take notice of their own stories from the past.

  Join Author  Dr. Antoinette Harrell for a discussion of her new publication - Images of America: African Americans in Tangipahoa and St. Helena Parishes. Leonard Smith III, wrote the foreword for this publication. Dr. Harrell will discuss how she encouraged and mobilized the community to donate photos for this first ever publication in Tangipahoa and St. Helena Parishes. The Images in this series celebrates and documents the priceless images of African American people in the two Louisiana Florida Parishes. Each photograph and each title presents the distinctive stories from the past. Images of African American educators, farmers, pioneers, elected officials, business owners, and others are featured in this rich collection. The rich images tell the story and history of the undocumented history of people who called the Florida Parishes home.

Pastor Johnny Lee Gaddy visits The Context of White Supremacy. At the age of eleven, Mr. Gaddy was remanded to Florida's Dozier Reform School. He attended the school from 1957 to 1961. He was subjected to a constant living hell. Ms. Antoinette Harrell interviewed Mr. Gaddy and many other Dozier victims and ultimately helped Mr. Gaddy write about his experiences in the book, They Told Me Not To Tell: Dozier Reform School Was A Living Hell. He speaks candidly about being raped as a child and witnessing other boys being sexually terrorized with impunity. Mr. Gaddy also details how young black children were enslaved and forced to do grueling farm work that produced a massive profit. Mr. Gaddy reveals "he was in constant fear for his life. He witnessed a child hand in the trash pit and a child foot in the hog pen; the foot was being fed to the hogs." #RacismIsNotAPrivilege INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

Antoinette Harrell visits The Context of White Supremacy. A Genealogist, Historian, Peonage Researcher and author, Ms. Harrell has dedicated years researching how hundreds of thousands of black people remained formally enslaved for decades following the Civil War. She's investigated thousands of peonage records to demonstrate how Whites maintained domination over allegedly emancipated black people. We'll review her 2013 book, Dark Days of Horror at Dozier: Rapes, Murders, Beatings & Slavery. The text chronicles decades of barbaric, sadistic brutalization of black boys in a Florida reform school. The now deffunct Dozier school received a immense of attention in recent years. There's a new documentary and continued exhumations have unearthed human remains and further evidence of the inhumanity reserved exclusively for black children. We'll ask Ms. Harrell how she became involved in this work and what this institution exemplifies about the ongoing System of White Power. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
