This is the Louisiana chapter of a visual history of the American southern states. African American plantation life is the framework for this odyssey into the past. This work-in-progress is a not yet complete look at the agricultural basis for Louisiana's antebellum and postbellum economic and cultural foundations.

Shot in September of 2000, "Louisiana Cane" lifts the veil of Creole mystique, and shows us how African culture asserted itself in the slave era and gave us jazz, zydeco, gris gris, and gumbo.

Coming soon.
