The Sawyer Seminar at Tulane University presents a panel discussion featuring Dr. Lorraine Leu, Sara Zewde, Freddi Williams Evans, moderated by Dr. Adrian Anagnost and featuring a performance from Luther Gray.

Sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Tulane University’s 2021/2022 Sawyer Seminar, Sites of Memory: New Orleans and Place-Based Histories of the Americas, takes New Orleans as a key case study for a broader understanding of settler-colonial, formerly slavery-fueled economies in the Americas using the theme of site-based public history and memorialization.
