Fazendeville, Louisiana — The Black Town Erased for a Battlefield View


They called it “progress,” but it was theft.

Fazendeville, Louisiana was a thriving Black community founded after the Civil War — born from freedom and built on ancestral land.

But in the 1960s, they forced families out to “restore” the nearby Chalmette battlefield.
They wanted a better view for tourists… so they sacrificed a living Black town.

This is how history buries us — under monuments, memorials, and lies.

But we remember. And we restore.

This is Echoes of Hoodoo.
