Did Toussaint Circle ever get mentioned? Double-duty name that can commemorate both N.O. musician and icon Allen Toussaint, and Haitian slave-revolt leader Toussaint L'Ouverture.
that last part is interesting. I seem to remember history books saying that the slave revolt was the largest reason that Napoleon turned his attention away from the Americas. He needed the island for a launch pad in his objective to expand here. Selling Louisiana followed not long after I think.
