Chocolate City speech

The Chocolate City speech is the nickname that some people have given to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day speech by Ray Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana, on January 16, 2006. The speech concerned race politics in New Orleans several months after Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of the city. The reference is to the occurrence of the phrase ''chocolate city'' in Nagin's speech, which was one of several points in the speech which occasioned significant controversy.
== History of the phrase ==
In African American culture, the term ''chocolate city'' refers to a city with a predominantly African American population and/or African American political leadership. The concept originated with radio DJs in Washington D.C. in the early 1970s and was popularized by the band Parliament, who released the album ''Chocolate City'' in 1975. The term has been widely used, including by prominent scholar Cornel West in his 1993 book ''Race Matters'' and by comedian Chris Rock.
In an interview with Public Radio International's Tavis Smiley (originally broadcast on January 13, 2006)〔()〕 Nagin used the phrase "chocolate city" in reference to New Orleans' future demographics, a term that would become troublesome for him just a few days later.
