The City Park Master Plan is a bold re-envisioning of City Park, informed by the public and grounded in serving the greater good. We are seeking proposals from partner non-profits and/or Historically Black Colleges & Universities specializing in researching and facilitating an authoritative historical account of segregation and desegregation of New Orleans City Park. New Orleans City Park, one of the most significant public spaces in the city, has a complex history intertwined with issues of segregation and discrimination. The purpose of this project is to commission an authoritative historical account of segregation within New Orleans City Park, highlighting the challenges faced by marginalized communities and the eventual desegregation mandated by the federal government. Objectives: • To provide accurate historical documentation of segregation within New Orleans City Park. • To highlight the experiences of individuals who directly faced discrimination and segregation within the Park. • To support the Park's master planning efforts by providing essential historical context. • To facilitate the development of master plan recommendations for inclusive programming aimed at educating the public about the history of segregation in the Park.
