Louisiana African American Heritage Trail

The Louisiana African American Heritage Trail (AAHT) is a program developed by the Louisiana Office of Tourism designed to add new experiences to a visitor's trip to Louisiana. The AAHT is a collection of sites and points of interest that includes museums, universities, historical homes, churches, and other historical structures that tie the threads of African American people, history and culture to Louisiana and the United States. The current sites on the trail tell the story of that heritage from the earliest days of slavery in the 18th Century, for example, through reconstruction and Jim Crow, to the struggles and victories of the Civil Rights movement and beyond.

Louisiana African American Heritage Trail Application Deadline Wednesday NOVEMBER 9, 2011. All applications must be postmarked by the day of the deadline. No application postmarked after the deadline will be accepted.
