According to my mother, as the result of a difficult pregnancy, I was the first “Negro” child born at Oschner Clinic, which at the time served only whites.

Taylor House West Covina
At one time, the boulevard was dotted with little bits of New Orleans. They all made the trek west and settled in different “parishes” south of the 10 Freeway, between La Brea Avenue and Vermont Boulevard. If you could afford it, you could pretty much do it in California. And that newfound sense of independence and long-hoped-for liberation was worth whatever it took to achieve — even if it meant uprooting your family, leaving relatives and lifelong friends behind and, for the most part, starting over from scratch. Six months after my father and uncle drove to Los Angeles in a rental truck full of furniture and appliances, my mom packed up the three kids and we boarded the Sunset Limited through Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, and got off at Union Station in Los Angeles.

For traditional New Orleans Creole cooking, to this day still on the southeast corner of Jefferson and 10th Avenue. Perhaps the attraction was in the name, since a lot of New Orleans folk lived in Jefferson Parish, just a bit west of central Orleans Parish where the city is located. So many of my parents' friends and family members joined them in this exodus, which my Uncle Jack facetiously called “the great brain drain.” Over time, as more of them arrived, it often felt as though we were back in the Seventh Ward, the Treme or the Marigny neighborhoods of New Orleans. They sat in the “Colored Only” section at Sunday Mass in Catholic churches throughout the city, only allowed to receive communion after the white parishioners did — and even then, not at the altar.
The priest or deacon would walk the sacrament back to them in the rear of the church. Chief Culinary Officer of Miskiri Hospitality Group (MHG)- a unique collective of Black, family, and woman-owned products and restaurants in Washington DC. All of these cultures have come to Los Angeles, set down a sure foundation, and enriched this unique city that so many of us expats call home. Practically every wedding and funeral reception was held at Ashton’s Shatto Banquet Hall, run by Ashton Jones from Cane River, Louisiana.

Explore the vibrant spirit of The Chloe, where historic elegance meets modern allure. My community came here from New Orleans seeking a new way of life.

The menu, developed by Chef Ralph Scamardella, features a diverse selection of Asian-inspired specialties, focusing on Chinese, Japanese and Thai ingredients. Signature dishes like Miso Roasted Black Cod with grilled Tokyo negi and young ginger and Crispy Orange Chicken with steamed bok choy complement a range of fresh sushi options and dim sum like Spicy Tuna on crispy rice and Lobster Wontons with shiitake ginger broth. The signs might be gone, and many of the buildings may have been torn down, but their spirit lives on. Farther east across Arlington Avenue was Miss Shaw’s Beauty Shop, where all the ladies from back home would go for the perfect coiffure as they sat under those giant hair dryers, socialized without men around and went out looking like a million dollars and with an earful of the latest gossip.
The South was a challenging and dangerous environment in which to thrive for any person of color, even in New Orleans, one of the country’s most cosmopolitan seaport cities. In the old colonial days, there were restrictions in New Orleans that dictated and limited the behavior of both free Blacks, known as the “gens de couleur libre,” and the majority bound in chattel slavery. All of us are descendants of Etienne Broyard, a gendarme in the French colonial army who arrived in New Orleans at age 24 in January 1753 from La Rochelle, France. After his service was completed, he became a policeman, and then plied his trade as a carpenter.

It was always open and full of people on Carnival Day, and every Friday during Lent for fish and shrimp dinners. There you could also find Zatarain’s root beer concentrate — my dad used to make his own root beer at home — and Creole seasoning and crab boil, even a Barq’s root beer if you were lucky. My brother and I would ride around the neighborhood on our bikes, running errands for our parents or working odd jobs. We would make a few dollars sweeping the floor or selling our spots in line at Champ’s Barbershop on the corner of Western and Leighton, run by brothers James and Ricky Smith. It’s also where my mom took me the very first day I picked my hair out into an Afro.
