More than a dozen medical students from Tulane University posed at the former slave quarters in the hopes of inspiring others.
“Seeing that many black students in training in one photo was striking. In a place that was dedicated to our ancestors and their struggles,” Labat, 24, said. “We knew this photo was going to make people stop ... and really think. I can say for myself, I definitely got emotional throughout this experience.”
Ledet hopes that message gets to those who feel a lack of representation in and out of the classroom. "These kids need somebody who looks like them in an image in their classroom," Ledet said."When that’s in their mind. That’s where their memories come from. They can be me."
