Event Details
From the banks of the Mississippi to the rhythms of Congo Square, Louisiana has shaped the American story in ways both profound and often overlooked. In this America250 conversation, journalist and cultural historian Jason Berry moderates a dynamic discussion with Rich Campanella, Freddi Williams Evans, and Ben Sandmel on the centuries-long contributions of New Orleans and Louisiana to the country’s identity. Together, they explore the region’s influence on American architecture, music, culture, migration, environmental history, and the spirit of resilience that continues to define the nation.
This session is presented in partnership with Louisiana 250.
