History
We were founded by Reginald Pecorry in 1849. From Ireland, Reginald, a well liked absentee landlord, never recovered from the loss of his potato stock which was pillaged by hungry natives during the Potato Famine.
Initially he headed to New York, later settling in New Orleans. He created the Center to publicise against
what he perceived as the cruel treatment of African Americans. After multiple attempts to lynch him,
he realised this was not such a good idea so he focused instead on non-controversial issues of the day
such as comment on the New Orleans Tea Society ordinances and also became one of the first artistic critics of Blues music, then in its very early infancy.
Although he missed his potatoes, he did take to Gumbo and often attributed this to his long life- he was 104 when he passed away, a fit of extended laughter being the cause. The center director is Ronald Pecorry, who is the great grandson of Reginald. Ronald is dedicated to moving the center back to its early critical roots.

Hurricane Katrina and the Center
We lost all our think-tanks, updated software and our Internet. We had recently upgraded from steel think-tanks to modern fiberglass tanks. Because of their light weight and portability, each researcher had their own individual tank, which was far more conducive to thinking than the old massive steel tanks.
When the Hurricane hit we were very lucky that these tanks floated very well and our staff were
able to float out of the building and get to safety.
However homeless locals seized all the abandoned tanks for shelter as they waited for Federal Aid and we were not able to recover them. It would not have mattered anyway as our headquarters building was destroyed in the flood.
Our extensive Internet was also devastated, getting entangled in multiple objects and finally being seized by some fisherman who used it to fish at Lake Pontchartrain. We did not have the heart to ask them to return it as they seemed so hungry, what with the Federal Aid being held up. Our software was also devastated. Keep an eye on the website though as we are working with a major vendor to get new software for all our researchers and have a press release in the works on this.
Finally we would like to reiterate that we are the ACPA. Please do not confuse us with the ACPA.
