A. P. Tureaud Statue &

Civil Rights Memorial Park

NewCorp is pleased to introduce its signature green infrastructure and cultural preservation legacy project, the renovation and rededication of the A. P. Tureaud Statue and Civil Rights Memorial Park. The site marks the gateway to NewCorp's 7th Ward Revitalization Project that encompasses the St. Bernard Avenue Commercial Corridor and the LA State designated A. P. Tureaud Cultural District in the 7th Ward: N. Claiborne Avenue to Gentilly Boulevard and St. Bernard Avenue to Elysian Fields Avenue.

The Statue and Park feature elements that will welcome and invite neighborhood members and visitors to gather and learn about 16 iconic civil rights leaders while enjoying a beautiful, centrally located community green space. Along with this project, NewCorp has ushered in cultural arts, environmental, affordable home construction, and economic development initiatives throughout the 7th Ward focal area that celebrate enhanced quality of life.
