We just returned from a great trip shooting preliminary footage for our next film in New Orleans. While visiting the city, we met some great people, including Mr. Leon Waters, a local activist who dedicates his time providing Hidden History Tours to tourists in order to shed light on local historical events that have been too easily forgotten.
New Orleans is still filled with monuments and plaques that celebrate white supremacy and honour the agents responsible for racial violence and segregation in Louisiana. Mr. Leon is involved in a movement to take down these symbols of oppression and replace them with markers that commemorate Black History. You can find out more about Mr. Leon and this movement here.
