American Experience | New Orleans | PBS

Louis Armstrong Playing Trumpet 1953, New Orlenas Birthplace of JazzNew Orleans: the utterly original American city that lies at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi and at the beating heart of the great American experiment. Walled in on almost all sides by water, pressed together by the demands and dangers of geography, the crowded streets of New Orleans have always been a laboratory where the social forces that characterize American life play out in dramatic and, at times, disastrous fashion.

The film American Experience | New Orleans offer insights into topics in American history including race relations, cultural history (music, food, literature), geography and land management, and urbanization including U.S. Supreme Court in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case.
