Converge Media journeys back to the South: New Orleans
Converge Media is back in the South on a #PartneredPilgrimage with Seattle’s Choose 180 and Sankofa Impact. We are documenting the trip as a group of nearly 30 individuals from The Emerald City experience history and culture in New Orleans, The Mississippi Delta, Memphis, Selma, Montgomery, and Atlanta along the way, the group will meet with and learn from Civil Rights foot soldiers and activists working in their communities today.
We will be documenting our film crew’s experiences in each city as we go. Stay tuned for updates on the film.

Dooky Chase’s
Dooky Chase’s is one of the most historic businesses in New Orleans. The restaurant, founded in 1941, was the site of critical meetings during the Civil Rights Movement as well as playing host to countless historical figures and celebrities. On top of that, it features some of the best food in the city. Choose 180 team members and Sankofa leads dined on a four course meal and heard from Stella Chase, the daughter of legendary chef Leah Chase.
