New Orleans, United States
According to a July 12, 1989, Times Picayune article, Martinez claimed to be among the first to sponsor carnival activities for her students. She said, "At Carnival time there were always pictures of little people who were kings and queens in the newspapers but nobody had a king and a queen for Negroes. I did it to make our children feel that they were really somebody." This is a photograph of the 1949 Martinez Nursery court.
