Administration Clients Market Place Orleans Quarters Rehabilitation Resettlement
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling Marketplace in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a scene of vibrant activity for the Resettlement Administration's rehabilitation clients in the summer of 1936. The Marketplace, a cherished institution in the heart of this historic neighborhood, is teeming with people, each engaged in their own pursuits. The American Resettlement Administration, an initiative of the New Deal, was established to provide relief and support to those affected by the Great Depression. Through various programs, it aimed to improve living conditions, provide employment opportunities, and promote community development. This marketplace, one of many established under the Resettlement Administration, offered a venue for local farmers and artisans to sell their produce and wares, thereby providing an essential source of income for the community. The French Quarter, with its unique architecture and rich cultural heritage, is a popular tourist destination today. However, in the 1930s, it was a struggling neighborhood, in need of revitalization. The Resettlement Administration's rehabilitation efforts, including the establishment of this marketplace, played a crucial role in the area's resurgence. This photograph, taken in June of 1936, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Marketplace as a hub of activity and community engagement. The diverse crowd, the colorful stalls, and the lively atmosphere all contribute to the sense of vitality and hope that characterized the Resettlement Administration's initiatives during this period. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of community, resilience, and the transformative impact of government support during times of hardship.
