Congo Square is an invaluable community asset, and it must be honored for its role as a site of gathering for indigenous populations prior to the arrival of Europeans and Africans in New Orleans, a place of respite from enslavement on Sundays, and a marker for the displacement and destruction of a predominantly Black community to make way for the Louis Armstrong Park Complex.
