The Creoles of Louisiana
with Sheila Delacroix
If you grew up in, live in, visit, or just pass through Louisiana, you cannot escape the word “creole.” The word has a complicated and fascinating history. This presentation will look at the various meanings associated with the word “creole” from its earliest known usage in the 1500s to the present day. Although the word “creole” is used in many countries and contexts around the world, the focus of this presentation will be on how this often-debated word has played a significant role in the history of Louisiana.
Sheila Delacroix is a native of New Orleans with deep roots in St. Tammany Parish. Sheila has a passion for the history of Louisiana, particularly the Free People of Color and their descendants. Her interest in genealogy took root in the 1970s when she was in graduate school and she continues to investigate her own family history. Sheila holds a Master of Library Service degree from the University of Alabama. She is a past president of the St. Tammany Genealogical Society.
