Free and open to the public, please register in advance 

Despite being closed to the public since 1965, Lincoln Beach in New Orleans East has remained an unofficial respite for generations of Black New Orleanians. Last year, the New Orleans City Council approved a measure to set aside almost $25 million to refurbish the site, which was also recently added to the National Register of Historic Places, making it eligible for preservation grants, tax credits, and protection from demolition. Join One Book One New Orleans (OBONO) and the Historic New Orleans Collection for a panel discussion exploring the history of the recreational haven, from its opening in the 1930s to the present-day efforts to revitalize this important cultural landmark.  

***

One Book One New Orleans is a nonprofit organization that supports literacy, builds community, and promotes meaningful dialogue between people of diverse backgrounds by calling on all New Orleanians to share the experience of reading and discussing a selected book each year, and providing literacy resources to organizations and individuals throughout our community. This program is offered in conjunction with OBONO’s 2024 book offering, Black Creole Chronicles.
