Queen Mother Moore Legacy Symposium & Celebration

Audley Moore, called "Queen Mother Moore" left behind a legacy of fierce civil rights activism and advocacy for African-American reparations, and she remains a key figure in the history of Black people's continued fight for equality in our country. This month, her hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana dedicates an entire day to her inspiring memory with the Queen Mother Moore Legacy Symposium and Celebration. 

Hosted by the Iberia African American Historical Society, the symposium will include a panel with keynote scholars on African American history, a Black history walking tour of Main Street, a children's storytime, and more. Events will be held in venues around New Iberia, including the Sliman Theatre, Shadows on the Teche, and Da Berry Fresh Market. This event is part of the efforts to place a historical marker in New Iberia later this year honoring Moore's contributions to her hometown. 10 am–7 pm. Free. Details at iaahs.org.
