Welcome to #AskJP!
This is the 5th Episode of our Second Season! In this episode we will be discussing the history, and future, of the Claiborne Overpass/Expressway with Amy Stelly, the Founder of the Claiborne Avenue Alliance.
In this episode we cover ALOT of ground. We talk about the history of Treme and Claiborne Avenue. We go into the origins of the Claiborne Expressway, in particular how the Federal Highway Act of 1956 and redlining led worked in concert to devastate black communities around the country. We close by discussing the future of Claiborne Avenue after the current Biden Infrastructure was passed and what the possible paths are forward.
