“The Trail They Blazed,” on display in the French Quarter at the HNOC, is an oral history project that showcases the city’s civil rights activism – as told by the people who lived it.

Leona Tate poses in her old first-grade classroom at McDonogh 19 Elementary School, now the TEP Interpretive Center, which she runs, in New Orleans on Aug. 19, 2024. In front of her is the book titled, "Small Shoes, Great Strides," about Tate and her classmates' experience integrating New Orleans schools.
