Slavery is part of our history. We did not create the practice and we also ended the practice here over 157 years ago. No one alive today ever owned a slave and no one alive today ever was a slave. Also to say that there are those out there that seek to return the county to that time is a bold faced lie. Yes I am directly saying what you said is a pure lie. People that can’t get past slavery that ended over 157 years ago are part of the problem not the solution and they are a large part of why we will never be one people in this country. No one today is owed anything over slavery rather that is reparations or even an apology. Again no one alive today ever was or owned a slave. I know that I owe no one anything. I do believe that we need to teach our children about the practice but not use it as a crutch for poor life choices that some make. As for this video it was very well made and was a fair depiction. I applaud the creator for his work.

Well 1)slavery existed in Biblical times long before the United States came to be. 2) slavery ended with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. No one alive today ever was a slave and no one alive today ever owned a slave. So no one is owed a apology or a single cent of reparations. So endeth the lesson.

@@Kiran-bu9uuSlavery existed before biblical times and still exists today in the middle east and southeast Asia. Also, blacks should educate themselves because a lot of them that I talk to are unaware that Arab camel caravans made the dangerous trip accross the Sahara desert to buy black slaves and bring them back to the middle east long before the transatlantic slave trade begun. Middle Eastern Moslems would castrate their male slaves. This is why it is so ironic and darkly humorous that any black person would find it "empowering" to convert to Islam, the very religion that enslaved their people for so long. Christianity is a much better fit and it has its earliest origins in Africa, in th Kingdom of Ethiopia. And they didnt enslave blacks like Islam did. Nice video though, Nola DJ. I enjoy your videos and the info provided within.

Thanks for the caveats explaining how you got your information and how it is not a comprehensive documentary. So often we get a very similar kind of video with that tries to give the impression that it is authoritative when it is just the opposite. One of the myths about the slave trade in New Orleans is that slave transactions primarily took place in a small handful of locations dedicated for that use. The truth is that slave transactions could and practically did happen anywhere a buyer a seller and a notary could come together. It could be the old St. Louis Hotel, or private office or home. It could even be just a randomly convenient streetcorner.

@@NOLADEEJ I understand. Yet at what point when there be advanced or level history. Some of this has gotten out of hand. That's why the education system is so flawed. It's going through it's reset. Elevate the said narrative. I see Poland, Ireland and Italy all the time. Why aren't the Bavarian structures never mentioned?

Thanks for covering this! I got a good deal to stay at the Omni a few years ago, but I didn't do any research on the hotel until I actually arrived in the city. It was an eerie and difficult stay(to say the least!), after I learned the story behind the building. Thank you so much for putting this information out there and for being honest. Much appreciated.

There is a plaque on the Chartres St. side of this building stating this. It should not come as a shock. No city was built off the principle of slavery more than New Orleans. Like it or not, it is part of where we come from and who we are. There are other buildings in the French Quarter and even other parts of this city where slaves were bought and sold. That hotel definitely wasn't the only place.

Thank you for sharing this piece if history. But sadly the atrocities continued after slavery was over, the period was Jim Crow. Just came back from the Lynching museum in Alabama. Just sad that people think we learned to love each other after slavery ended and proof everything was great. We must learn history, acknowledge, understand why things are the way they are,and not repeat it, learn, grow, and change.
