The Louisiana State Museum is proud to present a virtual evening with Sarah M. Broom, author of The Yellow House, 2019 National Book Award winner, in conversation with historian Leslie M. Harris. The Yellow House centers around Broom’s childhood home, a yellow shotgun house in New Orleans East, which was ultimately destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. Through this intimate examination of family life, Broom highlights the lesser known history of New Orleans East and explores themes of race, inequality, erasure, and resistance. This event is free and requires advances registration. Please register here to receive the Zoom invitation, which will be emailed to registrants in the week prior to the event.
