Previous scholarship has emphasized how Creoles’ class and ethnic identities as francophone transatlantic free people of color shaped their political activism. My dissertation argues that the significances of Creoles of color extends beyond these roots because their desegregation ideology served a common cause for all people; they built coalitions with Anglicized blacks and white radicals, and expanded their efforts beyond male participants to include women and children. Creoles of color succeeded in incorporating their desegregation agenda into the Republican Party’s platform in Louisiana during Reconstruction. Furthermore, they were able to lead anti-Jim Crow protests into the 1890s, which culminated in challenging the 1890 Louisiana separate car act in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson United States Supreme Court case. This dissertation specifically focuses on Creoles’ everyday struggles through the lens of public schools, transportation, and churches. By combining archival research and digital methodologies, it portrays Creole community members’ desegregation activism and explains how their shifting relationships with the Anglicized black population and white radicals shaped their civil rights movement that persisted for nearly four decades in late nineteenth century New Orleans.
