Local artists pay homage to Lower 9th Ward
SUMMARY: An art installation in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward, coinciding with Juneteenth, celebrates black homeownership and community identity. Created by local photographers Chandra McCormick and Keith Calhoun, who have spent over 40 years documenting the city, the installation is a tribute to their childhood neighborhood. The Lower Ninth Ward historically had one of the highest concentrations of black homeowners. Through their “Memoirs of the Lower Ninth Ward,” the photographers aim to capture the area's soul and spirit, preserving its legacy amidst changing times. The installation, illuminated beautifully at night, hopes to inspire current residents to appreciate their community's rich history.
“We tried to cover and capture the soul and the spirit of the Lower 9th Ward,” said photographer Keith Calhoun.
