Join us for this fascinating lecture on free people of color living in antebellum New Orleans (1803 -1865). Our special guest is Kimberley Coleman, and the lecture will be virtual and free to the public with registration.

About the Speaker:
Kim Coleman is a native New Orleanian, historian, and storyteller. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Dillard University in History and a Master of Arts degree from Southern University at New Orleans in Museum Studies. As the Curator and Director of Interpretation at the McKenna Museums, Kim has combined her love of history and art to develop authentic New Orleans narratives. 

Pay what you can: We have made our lectures free to attend while in-person programming is paused, but we still have costs associated with putting on this program. We are accepting donations if you are in a position to support our museum. With this money, we will pay honoraria to all current and future presenters and cover overhead expenses such as Zoom and other technological services.
