Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center
The Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center is a private, non-profit civil rights organization dedicated to eradicating housing discrimination throughout the greater New Orleans area through education, investigation and enforcement activities. GNOFHAC promotes fair competition throughout the housing marketplace- rental, sales, lending and insurance. GNOFHAC is dedicated to fighting housing discrimination not only because it is illegal, but also because it is a divisive force that perpetuates poverty, segregation, ignorance, fear and hatred. www.gnofairhousing.org
Anna Julia Cooper Project for Gender, Race and Politics in the South – Tulane University

Named in honor of one of the most noted African-American intellectuals in the history of the nation, the AJC project serves as a curricular hub for courses focused on intersectional identities of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, provides faculty with opportunities for intellectual collaboration, collegial interaction and scholarly support, and offers meaningful events for local community audiences. The Cooper Project is supported by the Newcomb College Institute. You can learn more at http://cooperproject.org.
