01:00I'm the owner.
01:01Okay.
01:02So where's your sister?
01:03I don't have a sister.
01:04You do?
01:05Wait a minute.
01:06Wait, okay.
01:07You have to tell me the story behind Two Sisters' restaurant.
01:10Right.
01:11I don't have a sister, but we bought it from Two Sisters, and they asked us not to change
01:16the name.
01:17Yeah.
01:18And she said, don't change the name, it's gonna bring you good luck.
01:21I have three daughters, and all of them know how to cook.
01:25So it's a family business.
01:26Yeah.
01:27It is.
01:28Uh oh.
01:29Alright.
01:30I see food.
01:32Right on time.
01:33Good talking to you guys.
01:34You too.
01:35I'ma let y'all eat your food now.
01:36So here we are.
01:37This is the New Orleans African American Museum.
01:38Oh, it looks beautiful.
01:43Mmm.
01:44Mmm.
01:45Mmm.
01:46Mmm.
01:47Mmm.
01:48Mmm.
01:49Mmm.
01:50Mmm.
01:51Mmm.
01:52Mmm.
01:53Mmm.
01:54Mmm.
01:55Mmm.
01:56Mmm.
01:57So here we are.
01:58The New Orleans African American Museum.
02:00Oh, it looks beautiful.
02:02Mmm.
02:03Mmm.
02:04Mmm.
02:05Mmm.
02:06Mmm.
02:07Mmm.
02:08Mmm.
02:09Mmm.
02:10Mmm.
02:11Mmm.
02:12Mmm.
02:13This community that the museum is located in is called the Treme.
02:37Now the Treme is the first all-black neighborhood predating the Civil War.
02:42Now the people that left Haiti during that unfortunate era in which they were having all those revolts,
02:47many of them came right here to New Orleans and they founded the Treme.
02:51And so what we have on the side of the walls are the unfortunate depictions of slavery as it was practiced in Haiti.
02:56Now this is the type of things that they would do to African people who were enslaved in Haiti.
03:01They would boil them in large pots and then they would decapitate them and put their body parts up along this, on the wall.
03:08Like animals? Like animals, exactly.
03:12So what we have in New Orleans is a tradition of the culmination of the Native American tribes and the enslaved Africans.
03:22When slaves did not want to participate in slavery, they would run away and join various Native American groups and they would kind of, you know, integrate themselves in these different Native American tribes.
03:35So every year the Mardi Gras Indians, they remake their costumes.
03:47We want people to come out and just relax and enjoy the atmosphere here at the New Orleans African American Museum.
03:53I'd like to thank you for coming out. It was a wonderful experience.
04:00You had a good time?
04:01I had a great time. This place is amazing.
04:03Yeah, me too. So, hey, I got this place. We can chill out.
04:06You want to go check it out?
04:07Let's do it.
04:08All right, let's go.
04:23So how's this for lounging?
04:24It's nice. I like it.
04:25Yeah, nice low key spot.
04:27Laid back.
04:28Yeah, great music.
04:30Like taking it easy and the big easy.

04:40Well, I wanted to give you a total New Orleans experience, but I still got more to show you.
