Short Analysis Paper-Silvia
New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival was founded in 1970 by Quint Davis, a native New Orleanian. Quint Davis, a thin white man, was well known for his relationship with the New Orleans, African American working class in the 1960s. Although segregation ended a few years prior, the unique history of African American tribes, traditions, and expressions remained highly ignored by many with New Orleanians, However, Quint Davis fell in love with the community and all that came with it: culture, music, attire, ambiance, and passion.

The Inaugural New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival began as a non-profit, which took place in Beauregard Square. However, the city changed the name from Beauregard Square, highlighting the controversial Confederate General, to Congo Square, a name more suitable for the location and its participants. Congo Square remains a vital concept in Jazz Fest history, symbolizing a much-needed development amongst the racial divide and the birth of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival .Developing from Quint Davis' admiration of the African American community, the traditions and culture play a major role in the festival's purpose. Starting with the Inaugural New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, African artists maintain a heavy presence on the festival's performers. King Sunny Ade, Ali Farka Toure, Baaba Mal, and many others are just a few of the many African musicians who created historic performances on the Congo Stage, a stage recognized for its spiritual and historic essence.

Although Quint Davis played a major role in the establishment of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, George Wein is known for establishing the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation. George Wein, originally from New York, reached out to his friend and director of the Hogan Jazz Archives, Dick Allen. Allen introduced George Wein to Quint Davis and Allison Miner, and the establishment of the successful New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival was made.

The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival was not always as successful as it is today. During the festivals early years, the festivals were forced to take out loans in order to host the events. However, the financial obligations began to disappear when the festival began accepting sponsorships and a variety of genres of entertainment.

The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival experienced many disasters throughout its existence. In 1993, the New Orleans Fair Grounds experienced a severe fire, which caused over $26 million dollars of damage. However, founding owners Quint Davis, Allison Miner, and George Wein utilized money from the foundation to assist in the rebuilding. Additionally, the festival lost over $1 million dollars after the spring rainfall deterred festival-goers from celebrating. However, there were some fans who decided to ride out the bad weather.

Prior to forming the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the City of New Orleans experienced some of the most tortuous racism the country had seen. The 1960s was a prominent time of segregation: White people and black people separated, Mardi Gras celebrated by only the elites of the city, and a lack of economic flow resulting from the divide.

However, in a small jazz club in Boston, Massachusetts called "Storyville," owned by founder of New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, George Wein, Elaine Lorillad discovered a legend. Socialite Lorillad hired Wein to produce a summertime festival in New Port, Rhode Island and a sister festival two years later. The publicity of George Wein's success caught the attention of Olaf Lambert, manager at the Royal Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, who requested that Wein travel to the city and begin plans for a similar festival in the Big Easy.

Having never been to New Orleans, George Wein prepared for a dinner that would change the city and its residents for the better. He met with the New Orleans Mayor Victor H. Schiro, a few members of the Chamber of Commerce, and the politically connected owner of the Roosevelt Hotel, Seymour Weiss. Unfortunately, the Jim Crow laws restricted the city's ability to provide a festival of such inclusion; hotels were not obligated to accept guests who were people of color.

It was not until two years later in 1965, when the Civil Rights Act was implemented,that George Wein received a phone call requesting he return back to New Orleans. However, a racial roadblock once again became a issue when black players from the American Football League were discriminated against and the reputation of the city was once again tarnished.
