OKAY SO LET’S GET INTO A LOUISIANA HISTORY TOPIC THAT PEOPLE LOVE TO SKIP OVER: GENS DE COULEUR LIBRES — FREE PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO LIVED BETWEEN WORLDS IN FRENCH AND SPANISH Louisiana.

WE’RE TALKING COMMUNITY, CLASS, SURVIVAL, AND THE COMPLICATED TRUTH BEHIND THE “IN BETWEEN” STATUS.
FOLLOW, RATE, AND REVIEW IF YOU ROCKIN’ WITH ME.
