House Appropriations votes 14-6 for constitutional convention bill. Vote falls along party lines, with Republicans in support of the convention bill and Democrats opposed. HB800 moves next to full House for debate. #lalege
House Appropriations reviewing Republican Rep. Beau Beaullieu's bill (backed by Gov. Jeff Landry) to call a constitutional convention that starts on May 20. Committee is reviewing it for potential cost to the state. Here's the financial analysis: legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocu… #lalege
New Orleans is one of the great cities of the world! I was home for just a few hours and the culture of my beloved home was rejuvenating, inspiring, life affirming, and was an epiphany. The great Albert Murray taught me that culture is the literal intersection of life and people
New Orleans is one of the best demonstrations of culture & its impact on our humanity, spiritually emotionally, practically, and intellectually. Our ability in New Orleans to adapt, improvise, to be malleable, quixotic at times may appear unfocused but it really is triumphant
Spiritually, catching the spirit, a tradition of the Black church is the on going practice when enslaved Africans practiced Vodun , a Yoruba religion in New Orleans. Europeans heard Voodoo. It empowered them to face against their violent oppression, instilling hope to fight on
Emotionally, New Orleans culture teaches you can “make a way out of no way”. With scraps of food, burnt floor and oil, we created a stew known around the world, gumbo. A meal that can soothe the troubled soul and provide when you have little means.
Practically. When you see a New Orleans “Second Line” parade remember that during Jim Crow segregation Black folks were “redlined”couldn’t access health insurance, life insurance. Our Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs organized grassroots groups to help in time of need.
Intellectual: The Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs use the “ Second Line” parade to march commerce into the community. They stop a small businesses (restaurants, bars) bringing a literal parade of customers. The members pool their money acting as a de facto insurance group.
That is an ongoing practice held on from the African tradition of the Susu. a form of rotating savings & credit, a an informal savings club arrangement between a small group of people who take turns receiving its benefits. a community-oriented savings system predating banking
By now you can tell I spent a day a Jazz Fest! I was reminded of the power of culture. It’s not just entertainment, it’s spiritual, practical, emotional, intellectual, and more importantly political. New Orleans culture demonstrates all of these.
There are those who want to colonize the culture of New Orleans. Our culture of exercising our right of self determination. We have a state that is hostile to our city. Seeking every opportunity to seize control of our culture, power, and commerce. They cannot succeed.
I love Louisiana, but anywhere in the world you go if you mention Louisiana people will say, “New Orleans”…… not Baton Rouge or anywhere else. We are world renowned. We are New Orleans, the Northern Most Caribbean City, an International Beacon of Culture.
A legend takes a bow! Candace Parker officially retires from the WNBA. It was an honor and privilege to cover her time with the Chicago Sky. I measure greatness in impact, and Parker’s footprint on sports, beyond basketball, can’t be understated! Thank you, CP3! #skytown
