An emerging organization committed to the intergenerational healing and flourishing of the Black descendant community in the Louisiana river parishes.

On November 9, The Descendants Project filed suit against St. John the Baptist Parish in order to erase corrupt zoning that now threatens their descendant community.  This illegal "zoning" allows heavy industry, such as the Greenfield Grain Terminal, to locate dangerously close to residents.  We are encouraged this lawsuit will finally correct a wrong that has plagued the community of Wallace for over thirty years.
