Content Description

The African American Leadership Project (AALP) is a nonpartisan network of community activists, religious and business leaders, academics, and concerned citizens that focus on dialogue and agenda building, policy advocacy, community planning, and neighborhood development. It was founded in New Orleans, Louisiana, around 2002. This collection documents the AALP's community activism following Hurricane Katrina. It includes programs, news releases, and flyers for various commemorative events in 2006. Also included are photographs and videotapes of those events, which include marches and panels at Xavier University, McDonogh 35 High School and Ashe Cultural Center.
