Historically, BA’s were an integral part of life for both black and white New Orleanians, acting as mutual aid societies to meet members’ needs, including funerals. While many of the vaults in LC2 belong to associations that no longer exist, such as the Coachman’s, Butcher’s, Cotton Yard Men, and Ladies Pride of Louisiana, a select few belong to clubs that to this day secondline past the cemetery. The Young Men Olympians is an example of an active club whose original vault lies in LC2—and a club that remains active in the surrounding neighborhood. Though Social Aid and Pleasure clubs today are perhaps more “Pleasure” than “Aid,” their endurance into the 21st century speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the communities that produced them. Other BA’s that no longer exist, such as the “Ladies Pride of Louisiana” invite research opportunities for scholars of history. The cemetery of LC2 holds a treasure trove of stories and historical secrets waiting to be revealed through preservation and research. Yet... Despite this richness, LC2 has been neglected and disparaged in the pages of New Orleans cemetery history, described in one reference book as surrounded by a “slum” and laying “very little claim to good or even interesting monumental architecture.”
