Freetown - between University Avenue and the Evangeline Thruway â is a cultural jewel.

During the Reconstruction Era, community leaders started running for local office. Some members of this community formed The True Friends, a society that would, later on, fight the KKK and The Riders of the White Camelia.

Between 1863 and 1877, the U.S. government undertook the task of integrating nearly four million formerly enslaved people into society after the Civil War bitterly divided the country over the issue of slavery. A white slaveholding south that had built its economy and culture on slave labor was now forced by its defeat in a war that claimed 620,000 lives to change its economic, political and social relations with African Americans.
