New Orleans. Not NOLA : Short Sleeve T-Shirt (Cream)
Would you believe us if we told you that the popular use of NOLA to refer to The City of New Orleans is relatively new? Like post-Hurricane Katrina new? Would you believe us if we told you that old school New Orleanians didn't use that term and that we simply said "New Orleans"?
The Big Easy? YES.
N'Awlins? YES
NOLA? HELL NO!
Would you believe us if we went so far as to suggest that the newly popularized NOLA is a gentrified term? GASP.
We aren't here to debate whether NOLA is a gentrified term. We believe that it is and we have some reasons why.
What is the difference between NOLA & New Orleans? Glad you asked.
New Orleans was BLACK.
NOLA is not.
1) Before Katrina, 67 percent of the city's population was Black.
2) In 2022, 59.22% of NOLA teachers are Black.
3) In 2003, 71 percent of New Orleans public school teachers were Black and 78 percent were women.
4) In 2020, the percentage of NOLA public school Black teachers was 53%.
About seven months after Hurricane Katrina devastated large swaths of New Orleans and decimated scores of the city’s schools, the Orleans Parish School Board fired all 4,600 of the city’s public school teachers, most of them Black. In 2019, New Orleans New Orleans officially became the first large American city to not offer a single traditional public school. New Orleans is the country's first all-charter public school system.
