The #PontchartrainPark neighborhood in #neworleans was designed to be a place of opportunity and pride for African Americans. It also was a prosperous haven to raise children and achieve the American Dream that was sometimes missed due to racial prejudice and segregation in the South and the entire United States. The newly-listed district recognizes its history as the first African American suburban community built on the city’s Lakefront and in the United States. The district was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2020 and is bounded by France Road, Dwyer Canal, Norfolk Southern Rail Road, Campus Boulevard - (The street where my family home is), Emmitt W. Bashful Boulevard, Press Drive and Hayne Boulevard. The community also houses #SUNO Southern University at New Orleans - An #hbcu in my backyard where excellence was generated and I am also a graduate of as well in their Masters's Program. #automotivegram #sky #plant #green #wheel #car #grass #gesture #ourpla...
