The rise and fall of Black political organizations in New Orleans

The first modern Black political organizations in New Orleans were a product of the Civil Rights Movement of the late 1960s. Local Black civil rights attorneys had achieved a measure of success in fighting discrimination while litigating for enforcement of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
