Hagood Reads the Phone Book: New Orleans
Few American cities possess the allure, mystery,
danger and romance of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Conceived in corruption, matured through terrible
trials, and finally realized in rare beauty, the city’s
languid atmosphere and fine beauty make it a
perennial draw. In this one-time lecture, Taylor
Hagood will bring the city to life by reminding us of
the city’s famous citizens while also telling of the
more obscure, but equally fascinating, people who
have made their home there.
Register Early! There is a $5 charge for registering on the day of a one-time lecture or event.
