New Orleans isn't just places, it's people too. Any idea of who Marie Laveau was? She is buried in the St. Louis Cathedral Cemetery in New Orleans....fact or myth???
Voodoo Queen of New Orleans
Voodoo was brought to French Louisiana during the colonial period by workers and slaves from West Africa, and then again, by slaves and free people of color who were among the refugees from the Haitian revolution (1791-1804). It was through Louisiana Voodoo that the words gris-gris and Voodoo doll were introduced into American vocabulary.
