Guardians of Our Narrative

No Dream Deferred, a Black-led community-anchored theatre company, in collaboration with the McKenna Museums’, Le Musée de f.p.c., a historic house museum serving as one of the country’s few attractions dedicated to preserving the material culture and legacy of free people of color in New Orleans, offer an immersive and unique historical experience to visitors.

Performers, as culture guides in the Cultural Guardian Acting Company, give character-driven tours to engage with multigenerational audiences from near and far using the storytelling tradition of the theater. Guardians emphasize the impact of individuals of African descent on the city and the indelible marking they have left on all aspects of the culture, from music to cuisine, architecture, and beyond. The culture guides are based on real historical free people of color who lived in New Orleans during the Colonial period of America’s history, creating an enticing and educational experience.

— Pablo S. 

“I throughly enjoyed learning about the history of free people of color. Everyone was knowledgeable and the treasures in this museum are like none other. I was truly inspired and learned a lot. Everyone should visit to learn black history as told by us.”
