- Historia
Jazz clubs, saloons, and brothels — welcome to the seductive world of New Orleans at the turn of the century. It was in this smoky den of iniquity that Lulu White became one of the most well-known madams in history. But Lulu wasn’t just a successful businesswoman — she was a successful Black woman. And in a country divided by color, that was a dangerous thing to be.
