I wish we still had FRESH, OPEN MARKETS. The French market now is just a tourist attraction not a real market experience like you'd get in other parts of the world.
I love this city. I was born and raised here and so was my father and his. I own and live in a corner store a mile from the French Quarter. Two apartments on top and an amazing court yard. My life long dream has come true. I am truly blessed. Thank you for this video. It reminds me of my grandfather.
My paternal Great-GreatGrandfather Garret Clare immigrated from Ireland to New Orleans in 1851 when he was just maybe 14,or 15.Garret became a naturalized citizen in October 1868 here in New Orleans.
I grew up in N.O. and I love seeing this old clip. Seeing the unpaved streets is something that we take for granted because most were paved when I was born (1949). There are still a few streets that are cobble-stoned, like bricks. I took a few pics a few weeks ago because these roads will be gone soon. I have the fondest memories of the French Market, where everything from seafood to produce was sold right on the street, and the blacks would fill these drive horse-driven wagons into the neighborhoods near the Quarter (Ninth Ward) full of fruits and vegetables singing these wonderful old spirituals at the top of their voices. I'd run out to the street to watch the horses and listen to their beautiful songs as they advertized their wares. It was a wonderful, simple time.
Gammie Jones Yeah but New Orleans was majority white back then. Even the ninth ward too. All those whites and you remember blacks the most? That's crazy.
The blacks sold the vegetables and went up and down the streets. The white street vendors had been dying out during our time and the young didn't take their place so this is the memory of my generation. My parents and grandparents were a different story. The white vendor and most of the black vendors parked their trucks and sold on the corners instead of traveling the streets.
@@IslenoGutierrez Your a white Hispanic that's oblivious. New Orleans was always a Black City,going back to Congo Square where the slaves would sell their hand made consumer goods. Even though it was Treme who btw was a white slave holder that bought the swamp land at that time,it was those newly free Black slaves/ those blacks that was still enslaved that cultivated the land & created the oldest Black community in the United States.
@@Upcamehill The white vendors were selling in the French Market. There are numerous pictures of them doing so. My great-grandfather used to buy from them.
@@TheJayblaze3 You obviously don’t have any grasp of New Orleans’ demographic history. New Orleans was majority white before 1980. There are US Census’ that demonstrate this. Also, when Congo Square was being used by slaves, whites were still the majority. There is a demographic chart listed by decade created by Geography professional Richard Campanella at Tulane University that shows decade by decade the population of New Orleans by white, black and mulatto since colonial times and whites were the majority of the city every decade since colonial times except 1810-1830 and 1980 until the present. That’s a total of about 70 years out of 300 that were not majority white. So for 230 years, whites were the majority in New Orleans. That’s the majority of New Orleans’ history. As for cultivating the land, it was a combination of white craftsmen and laborers, white indentured servants and prisoners, mulatto indentured servants and prisoners, laborers and craftsmen and black slaves. So everyone chipped in. Don’t make it as if only blacks cultivated the land. You forgot who founded and created New Orleans? And as for the “oldest black community in the US”, no that’s not in New Orleans. Areas on the east coast had slaves before Louisiana did. The Tremé is the oldest continually inhabited “black” neighborhood (I put “black” in quotations because most of the Tremé population has historically been mulattoes and today it’s increasingly white). And all of New Orleans that wasn’t the French quarter, Bayou St. John, Bayou road or Gentilly ridge was a swamp that was drained. I’m not trying to play a white vs black game here of who did more or added more to New Orleans because God knows whites added huge amounts. I’m just saying that we all chipped in to make New Orleans what it is. But don’t try to delete us from our own city that we created because it won’t work. New Orleans needs all of us in order to be New Orleans, not just some of us.
I can just imagine my grandparents and great aunts & uncles in this time--I've seen pictures of my family dressed this way! NOLA was the biggest city near them (South MS) and they went there often. Such a great look back at the past!
Same with my mothers family. They were from southern Mississippi about 60 miles from New Orleans and they went there often. They also had relatives who lived in N.O. and Gulfport. Dads family were from south-eastern Mississippi about 50 miles from Mobile, Alabama so they frequented there more often than New Orleans. Visited both cities & family farms many times on family vacations "back home". Both are/were great old gulf coast creole cities & proud of my heritage associated with them.
Thanks, the clips are really short 5-10 seconds, so I thought a freeze frame would give the viewer a chance to study the scene before the short clip began.
Born and Raised.... I see these people, and realize what a sweet life they must have lived... how much they would have seen... and think of my Grand Parents, Great Aunts and Uncles, cousins, etc. The zoo.... the beach.... the river, and St. Charles - all so magical, and even more so back then. Such a beautiful city back then - with true charm that alas has much been lost... still a flicker of her once magnificent self, I still love my home town on the river....
fantastic post !! this is some of the best footage i have ever seen on new orleans or really any other city in the usa. . i especially liked how the still shots came to life.
Too cool. The opening shot is a view looking down Chartres st from the corner of St Phillip st. My current apt is about halfway between the camera and the cathedral
I have tens of thousands of pictures I took in 275 days working for FEMA and Ch2Mhill drawing site maps and getting signatures to place a trailer on people's property from Belle Chasse all the way to the end if Venice also all of Braithwaite ....it was truly an experience I shall never forget
I live here and still go to the FQ market. Sunglasses, shea butter, earrings, sandals, art.... Feather boas to craft with during Mardi Gras... Lots of stuff for locals even though it's touristy.
Only in the summer. It's beautiful for the rest of the year. I don't see many roaches either. And it's a city with 90% historic districts, great food, music, and friendly people--the most beautiful, enchanting city in the country. I know. I moved here two years ago because of this very reason.
I don't know how anyone could survive that New Orleans heat back then! I was there in July and boy I couldn't hang. Even the locals where cursing the heat and avoiding the sun... and night ain't much better
I don't mean to get... Political??? But it is hotter now than it was in the 1920s because of global warming, it was much cooler back then that's why you see people wearing long sleeves, pants, skirts, and other stuff to keep them warm.
It was hardly air conditioning as we know it, but the architecture, with high ceilings, and dormer windows reportedly did an admirable job of keeping the houses livable.
+Shane Marcotte Nope. People don't want to remove the Andrew Jackson statue in Jackson Square. He was a president of the United States and a hero in the Battle of New Orleans against the British. It's the memorializing of Confederate generals and officials who didn't contribute to anything else note-worthy other than fighting for slavery and the South to secede. I personally think Robert E. Lee should stay in Lee Circle as he wasn't a raging racist and didn't own slaves himself. He would've been the general for the Union army but couldn't turn his back on his home state of Virginia. In any event, how would you feel if you were African-American and every day had to pass by huge statues honoring men who's only footnotes in history were because they wanted to keep your ancestors enslaved? Let's put them in museums and honor people who truly deserve it. That's not forgetting our history but embracing it & showing we are no longer the racist segregationists who put up those statues.
Lan Yap Leave those statues alone! They are part of New Orleans history. Better them than union soldiers that came and made New Orleans surrender to them. Those statues are history. We have become a pussy society that everything offends everybody. Get over it! What are we gonna do, start tearing down the back of houses in the French Quarters because they have slave quarters attached, so blacks don't feel offended? Are we gonna destroy the courtyards where they purchased slaves at? Or destroy the docks where slaves got off boats? Of course not. If that was the case, we'd have to tear down half of New Orleans. That's ridiculous. New Orleans has been a majority white city for most of its existence, but in the 80s it became majority black. Guess what? When blacks took over the government, they changed most of the names of whites on schools and libraries and even streets to names of blacks. Where is the cry for racism there? It's funny how it's a one way street these days. Just forget about it. History is history. Leave it at that and stop wanting to cover up history because you feel it offends someone. This overly sensitive politically correct bullshit has got to stop!
Jackson's monument serves also as an anti-Confederate symbol, since U.S. Army Gen. Butler had carved into its base: "The Union Must and Shall be Preserved"!
@@devroshart Do you have a source link? should we credit you or someone else? Do you have the original footage so we can use those clips? What's a good email to contact/exchange?
Thanks,life really changes,all of my peers is gone ,they were some great peoples ,they were family member ,they better than my family ,only God know ,I have never seen so much hatred ,in my family ,but they were religious peoples ,and they committed sins .
One can thank the likes of Hale Boggs (Cokie Roberts ' father) and Chep Morrison for bringing destruction to our beloved city.One was elected to the House of Representatives in D.C. and the other was the worst Mayor we ever had.
i love history especially historic film.Bet it was kodak film.Too bad near where i live in Rochester ny they went bankrupt.They were the digital innovators.
Un sueño q tuve con la canción de animal al comienzo veo un niño fíjese es de mi sueño le pegan Y se dan CTA luego hay un muchacho con gorra se queda parado en mi sueño el y otros es el qblw hacen daño
They should have went to the Black part of town in New Orleans. The Black oppressed built New Orleans & turned into the best place on earth. Where's 20 something year old Louis Armstrong?Wheres King 👑 Oliver, wheres Jelly Roll Morton?
False, it's actually been proven that Irish immigrants built New Orleans. The Irish were put in the swamps to dig the canals. Canals that were responsible for bringing wealth to the city
You know these ppl back then were all sweating their asses off in all that material... it's hot af wearing shorts and a tank top imagine walking around in a fucking 10lb dress😥
C.J. Love Yes..(can't believe I'm taking up for a Falcons fan) & btw I'm white & proud of the Black heritage that gives Nola so much of our gr8, historic culture. Look at the Creole cooking history video, here on uTube.. Also try to imagine Jazz, Roots & Blues music without black pioneers - it's impossible - Just turn on WWOZ radio now & then,, they'll hit this point home. Actually, the mixed cultural roots...Creole & more... make Nola a rare place where Native Indians, French, Spanish, Irish & others came together to live & party in a way that is hard to match anywhere else on Earth.. and that's something everybody down here should be proud of, Heck the planet needs more of this positive cultural mix & celebration. 🎯📡🎨🍺🍴🍸
rob M. Don’t forget the white heritage that added to New Orleans’s homegrown culture called creole culture such as the architecture, Mardi Gras, the fleur de lis symbol, Catholicism (the football team ain’t named the saints for nothing), the drinking culture, the crawfish boil and many of the foods like jambalaya, crawfish étouffée, beignets, muffulettas, poboys, pralines, French bread as well as many of the ingredients in the gumbo like the roux, the smoked sausage and the trinity (onion, bell pepper, celery) and don’t forget the street cars! New Orleans is melting pot culture that we call Creole culture. It’s a little bit of all the folks that settled it at one time or another!
C.J. Love You are seeing things, most of the people in the film were white. That was back when New Orleans was a majority white city and blacks were a small minority.
This was back when New Orleans was a majority white city, before the black migration to the city and the white flight to the suburbs. It’s insane how dramatic the shift in demographics was.
@Go Well first of all, I wasn’t complaining, I was giving my opinion of an observation based on the time period in relation to the demographics. You took it as a complaint because maybe your mind is hostile to such a thought as a majority white New Orleans, which existed for most of the life of New Orleans. Second of all, the culture of whites in the city of New Orleans is immense and we can see it in the architecture, food, religion, funerary practices, celebrations, language, history and art. In fact, the city was founded by whites and they have made up its majority for most of its existence. Even it’s place names came from whites, and yes even the names of most of it’s streets. Even the names of most of the schools were too until the 1980’s and beyond when blacks took over city government and started changing the names of schools from white names to black ones, en masse. But the white names still exist among many schools. And am I hispanic or white? Well when you understand that hispanic is not a race, the better equipped that you would be for such a debate. Hispanic means Spain or related to Spain. I’m actually both white and Hispanic at the same time. I’m creole at the same time too. How? Well let’s see, I’m white because my ancestors are of European origin. I’m Hispanic because my ancestry is from Spain. And I’m creole because I’m a native born Louisianian and I descend from the colonial population of Louisiana who used the term creole for themselves and to mean born in Louisiana or any other French, Spanish or Portuguese colony. Any more questions?
Well, looks can be deceiving. Back then, if you were born into a certain class, you were pretty much stuck in that class. Furthermore, what about all the gender and racial inequalities? Beautiful for a very small group of people, maybe?
I wish we still had FRESH, OPEN MARKETS. The French market now is just a tourist attraction not a real market experience like you'd get in other parts of the world.
That kid in the opening shot at the bottom right is my father. My grandfather, Valdemar Jensen, shoot the film.
Imagine how crazy would it be to have your child or you to stand there right now in that same position in the street....

@Go Well first of all, I wasn’t complaining, I was giving my opinion of an observation based on the time period in relation to the demographics. You took it as a complaint because maybe your mind is hostile to such a thought as a majority white New Orleans, which existed for most of the life of New Orleans. Second of all, the culture of whites in the city of New Orleans is immense and we can see it in the architecture, food, religion, funerary practices, celebrations, language, history and art. In fact, the city was founded by whites and they have made up its majority for most of its existence. Even it’s place names came from whites, and yes even the names of most of it’s streets. Even the names of most of the schools were too until the 1980’s and beyond when blacks took over city government and started changing the names of schools from white names to black ones, en masse. But the white names still exist among many schools. And am I hispanic or white? Well when you understand that hispanic is not a race, the better equipped that you would be for such a debate. Hispanic means Spain or related to Spain. I’m actually both white and Hispanic at the same time. I’m creole at the same time too. How? Well let’s see, I’m white because my ancestors are of European origin. I’m Hispanic because my ancestry is from Spain. And I’m creole because I’m a native born Louisianian and I descend from the colonial population of Louisiana who used the term creole for themselves and to mean born in Louisiana or any other French, Spanish or Portuguese colony. Any more questions?
Who cares
@@rollitupmars People who like history cares. I assume you’re not one of them.
@@IslenoGutierrez Without blacks New Orleans culture wouldn’t even be a thing sorry bud and this is coming from a white person.
Well, looks can be deceiving. Back then, if you were born into a certain class, you were pretty much stuck in that class. Furthermore, what about all the gender and racial inequalities? Beautiful for a very small group of people, maybe?
