If you spend any time reading or listening to things about New Orleans, you will undoubtedly come across the name of Marie Laveau. Born a free woman of color on this day, Sept. 10, in 1801, most references invariably refer to Laveau as New Orleans’ “Voodoo Queen.” And indeed, she was a leading practitioner in New Orleans throughout much of the 19th century, but this is only a part of her story. Laveau was also a prominent and successful entrepreneur, the owner of the beauty parlor where she worked as a hairdresser. She worked to provide educations for women in New Orleans' Black community. She was well known for visiting and ministering to prisoners, especially those on death row. And during the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1853, she used her knowledge of plant medicine to nurse the sick – she’s credited with saving many lives in the process, arguably more than were saved by the conventional medical practices of the day. Marie Laveau had become one of New Orleans more prominent citizens when she died in 1881. She’s buried in Saint Louis Cemetery Number 1, where her tomb is visited by thousands every year.
