Famous Parishioners



While the lives of many New Orleanians and visitors to the city
have been enlightened and enlivened by their contact with St. Augustine Church,
the lives of several parishioners stand out as particularly notable
for their impact on civil rights
and on African-American music and culture.



Special thanks go to
Keith Weldon Medley,
author of the book,
"We As Freemen: Plessy v. Ferguson".
