[laughter] 's >> you're in orleans right now? >> imi amperage. >> assist the house where you grew up? >> yes this is a house right. the porch behind me is the porch where my dad. [inaudible] this is the house we come to bear able, and didn't float we were able to keep the house after katrina. i lost my dad though he had a heart attack after he evacuated. but we were able to keep the house, this is a very special to me. the book is special to me in many different ways. >> it's special to be in your house with you. which is something we really would not be able to do if it were not for his virtual nature of our meetings for there's a silver lining to actually be present in the house were so much of this took place. i feel like i'm seeing some questions come in here. so i'm going to take a look at those. we will hear from some of you. >> i have a birthing at like to talk about too. plus get some questions for spirits to the current then you can fold that it whenever you what. was there a connection between the economy in the church?

hee came to new orleans and married a black creole woman who spoke french and was born in new orleanse was the granddaughter of an enslaved person purchased by her husband and then freed. that is different from the other side of my family who the great grandmother of whom had children. they were born enslaved and they were until they were at least 20-years-old. and i remember asking my grandfather hugh is your family and he said who wants to know. because of that history of enslavement he wasn't really proud of. so they all met down in new orleans. >> and what you say perfectly mirrors what you've described about the community that the economy was serving which was in the 19th century the multiethnic and incredibly inclusive. i was struck by the fact that they welcomed jews and put out an offer to chinese who might want to join. i wonder if you cannot explain to those of us who don't know necessarily that much about the south what did multiethnic mean in new orleans in the 19th century? >> i don't know if they you would use that term. people were living in a segregated system so they

if you know me from new orleans we don't leave. can live somewhere else but we're always from new orleans. it gave me more people to know how i was connected. like i found out my friend and i had been connected at least for generations. and she saw that in her parents who had met, her parents, ancestors were both members of the economy hall in 1850. so you know, that became much more important. that was fun to know. i guess i'll always carry new orleans around with me as you probably have seen. >> it's so lucky you began the project when you did in the sense that you can't a moment when more of this existed in living memory and i'm guessing it does now. a lot of these stories are tsaving and it's so crucial to get the people and report them. while they're stillhere and can still remember .>> the four people that i was talking about, my friend's mother had passed her friend had passed. the hundred-year-old woman and her daughter had passed so none of these people are still around. i was very lucky and i thought when i started the se

in united states so he used to drive from new orleans to canada every summer. and it was one of his friends that told them you don't need to stick around here. so when i saw these guys writing encouraging words and these inspirational words it was surprising that they were written but it wasn't surprising that they did that. i heard that spirit in flight. >> host: what about the language of these documents because you mentioned a friend of yours described french americans. what is a language like and how is it different from just french or american english? >> it's not english until 1926. they are writing entirely in french and it was a little broken friends in the little broken english. the way french read those sentences is the sentence construction for example when they started to get around americans which was around the time of the civil war, when they got around the americans they started using words like -- which i thought was so beautiful.
