About this Event:

Join us for a virtual Gallier Gatherings Book Club discussion with author and historian Dr. Andrew N. Wegmann, PhD, as we explore From Cuba to Creole: The Lacroix Household and Creole Identity in 19th-Century New Orleans.

Discover the fascinating story of François Lacroix—a Cuban-born luxury tailor who became a prominent figure in New Orleans' Creole of color community. Through his remarkable life, we'll examine how identity, family, culture, and belonging helped shape Creole New Orleans in the decades before the Civil War.

This event is free to attend, though donations are always appreciated. We hope you'll join us for an engaging conversation about history, community, and the people who helped define our city's unique cultural heritage.
