The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.

  • Colton Middle School
    R CHRISTOPHER GOODVVIN & ASSOCIATES, INC. Bound By Love and Good Children History and Archeology at Colton Middle School by R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc. 2017 i Colton School, seriously damaged by Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding, is located in the Marigny, the first sub- urb downriver from the city of New Orleans, on a block that was originally developed in the late 1840s. The residences and a school that were originally constructed on the block were de- stroyed by a fire in 1873. Several homes and two schools were rebuilt on the block following the fire, and written records indi- cate that the block continued to change through time until it was purchased in 1929 for the construction of the Colton School. Each phase of development left clues about people who went to school and lived on the block preserved beneath the soil. The rebuilding of the Colton School provided a rare opportunity to explore the material culture from the past and bring the written records to life showing what it may have been like to live or work over 150 years ago. This brochure and the educational display that accompanies it share what was found, and gives future gen- erations of children an opportunity to learn about their history, culture, and the legacy of their past that can sometimes be just beneath their feet. This brochure details FEMA’s efforts at not only rebuilding a school facility for New Orleans’ Marigny neighborhood, but also in preserving the history and culture of the area for the education and enlightenment of future generations.
