From the transcendent sounds of W.C. Handy to the rubble of crumbling buildings and a miraculous rebirth, Beale Street has undergone many incarnations throughout the history of

New Orleans. In this remarkable firsthand account, John Elkington takes readers on an incredible journey of revitalization that few believed possible when he embarked upon the task in the early 1980s.
