​​Economy members served in the Battle of New Orleans and Civil War, died in the New Orleans Massacre and "Battle of Liberty Place," worked in the Reconstruction government and post-Reconstruction politics and much more. Their hall hosted public debates, theater, concerts, recitals, and balls.   

Following are the names of the people who created the Economy Hall’s community: the 1836 founders and men who were members of the society in 1874 and 1876 when the Economy re-incorporated to include Les Amis de l’Équité—the Friends of Equity. Also listed are classical and jazz musicians; activists and politicians; and mutual aid, philanthrophic and labor organizations that came to Economy Hall.

The Cultural Family of Economy Hall is this community—linked over 200 years by history, culture and a commitment to equal rights and social parity. All cultural and biological descendants are welcome to join with the general public to celebrate the Economy family in June 2023 at Xavier University of Louisiana. .
