Hello! I hope you're having a great day! My name is Alexandra Myers, and I am a producer with ABC News. I am currently working on a story about highway pollution in New Orleans. We are focusing on 1-10. In our story we are interested in using a small portion of this video. Would it be possible for us to use that video? What is your clearance process? Please get back to me whenever you have a chance! I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Alexandra Myers
concerning the overpass, i mean we kinda needed it, like every city has the freeways running along downtown...so where else would they put this freeway??
Aja Kweliona because a prosperous white neighborhood was not available to destroy for the route that was needed to have access to downtown New Orleans.
This is an amazing video and deserves more watches. I remember going over this in school because around the same time they built the superdome.
Urban growth? They did the same to black communities in South Africa and called it Apartheid.

@Philip Albion STFUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So true.
I love this interstate bridge. Really helped to beautify the neighborhood.
They should’ve put it through lakeview
Are you smoking dope? It ruined the beauty of Claiborne Ave.
@@IsaiahWestaswomedude458 They did! I-610??
That's mid city @@nolarocks

This clip is from a wonderful documentaryt film called "Fabourg Treme" by Lois Elie Jr. and Dawn Logsdon.
So this is how the mainstream media gets its sources, huh?

Possibly not in the middle of a thriving black community? Why do you think this community was chosen over prosperous white ones?

on the river
@@galaxies352 So there was absolutly no way to get from Downtown to Elysian? That tiny stretch of 610 could have been avoided.
@@galaxies352 It was originally planned for the river, also wouldn't have been great but to say there was no way around this is just wrong
Wow
Iberville project long drive way between Bienville, Robertson & Conti Courts 3:06
I was born in 1981 and my parents don't tell me about this
love the way the black community treats the place they live in. Treating it like a jungle.
Thank goodness the federal Government in 1963 had so much foresight.
The saddest story is how forced integration and busing ruined New Orleans East
Oh Lordy. Crying racism once again
