🗣️IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW:

Beverly McKenna is more than a historian—she’s a guardian of legacy, a storyteller of resilience, and a fierce advocate for preserving Black history in New Orleans.

As the co-founder of *The New Orleans Tribune*, one of the oldest Black-owned newspapers in the U.S., and Le Musée de f.p.c., a museum dedicated to honoring the legacy of free people of color, McKenna has made it her mission to keep our stories alive. Her work is a testament to the power of community, culture, and truth—making sure our past is never forgotten and our future is informed by pride and knowledge.

From amplifying voices to safeguarding history, Beverly McKenna remains a pillar of strength and an unwavering force for cultural preservation.

Her vision is bold. Her impact is lasting.

🗣️IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW:

Mahalia Jackson was more than a singer—she was the voice of a movement, a beacon of faith, and the undisputed Queen of Gospel.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Jackson’s powerful, soul-stirring voice transcended churches and concert halls, inspiring millions worldwide. Her music wasn’t just about melody; it was a force of resilience and hope, carrying the spirit of the Black church into the heart of the Civil Rights Movement. When Dr. King needed strength, she sang. When the world needed faith, she delivered.

From humble beginnings to global acclaim, Mahalia never wavered in her purpose—using her gift to uplift, heal, and ignite change. Her legacy lives in every note of gospel music and in every fight for justice that dares to dream.

Her voice was power. Her impact is eternal.
