Outside Reading: Black New Orleans 1860-1880

So I was checking out what I could find on Google Scholar that related to the time period we're talking about in class right now, and I found this book. It was published in the 1970's, so I'm not sure if it is still considered exceptionally accurate, but if anyone has the time, you should look it over. It seems to give a pretty detailed account of what the lives of freed men and women were like in a more specific region of the South. Once I get through it a little more, I'll update, but I wanted to share!

Also, this website has some pretty cool pictures and illustrations, as well as a lot of information that relates to the era.
