Dejoie family pharmacy cured and connected a community

The Dejoie family operated pharmacies in New Orleans, emphasizing accurate prescriptions and community service. Their businesses, including Dejoie & Burbridge Pharmacy and Dejoie’s Cut-Rate Pharmacy, served as commercial hubs for the Black community and expanded into multiple ventures. The family’s legacy traces back to Jules Dejoie and an enslaved woman named Célestine, with successive generations building a diverse business portfolio.
