The Louisiana culture has treated African
Americans somewhat differently than the rest of
the country. While they were slaves at
some point in history, the African Americans
fell into the common class system earlier than
the rest of the country; and you found
inter-racial relations to be more publicly
accepted and white counterparts more openly
supporting their offspring--further validating
the class ranking.
What follows are a list of resources for
genealogists with African American roots in
Louisiana. A handful of them are useful
for researchers with African American roots
anywhere.
