Freedom House in Treme Continues their historic work

Little did Candice “Divine” Henderson know when she put in a contract on 917 North Tonti Street that it would turn into the project it has become. A first-time homebuyer, Henderson had looked at 30-plus properties and made offers on three. As she had the inspection on the Tonti Street house, the realtor asked if she knew that it was a historic house with a significant place in the Civil Rights Movement. She didn’t.
