Preserving History. Honoring Ancestors. Empowering Communities.
Established in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, JSHDA exists to honor the enslaved men, women, and children linked to the 1838 Jesuit slave sale. We research genealogies, preserve family histories, and advocate for descendants, fostering a connection between past and present through education and community support.
