This memorial is dedicated to all the slaves who lived in Louisiana. It is named after Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, author of Africans in Colonial Louisiana (1992) and Slavery and African Ethnicities in the Americas (2005) in recognition of her contribution to the history of slavery in the Americas. All the names (107,000) recorded in this author’s Louisiana Slave Database, along with slavery-related pictures and quotations, were engraved on 216 granite slabs and mounted on 18 walls.
