456. Sharlene Sinegal-DeCuir, part 1.

456. Part 1 of our interview with Sharlene Sinegal-DeCuir about changing narratives about the Civil War and Reconstruction. "I am a Louisiana girl born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana. I grew up a devout catholic, listening to zydeco music, eating gumbo and speaking Creole French, a typical southwestern Louisiana upbringing. I completed my undergraduate education at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans and my graduate work at Louisiana State University. Currently I am an Associate Professor of History at Xavier University of Louisiana."

2. This week in New Orleans history. Historians gathered with the Plessy and Ferguson families and a member of the Louisiana Supreme Court in New Orleans on February 12 2009, to unveil a historical marker recalling the case. "It is no longer Plessy v Ferguson. It is Plessy and Ferguson", said Keith Plessy in a public broadcasting radio interview. The marker was placed on the corner of Press and Royal Streets, near the location of the former railway station where Plessy had boarded his train.
