Under the Biden administration the US once again became the world's largest producer of oil and gas. Because all fossil fuels projects are politically constituted via permitting, etc., it is no surprise that of the nearly $7 trillion of fossil fuel investments since the 2015 Paris Accord, almost $2 trillion has been provided by six US banks including Citi. Cancer alley, the nickname for a stipe of largely Louisiana coastline, is home to over 200 petrochemical plants, refineries and ports. As the name implies, per the EPA, cancer alley residents are exposed to over ten times the level of health risks from resulting air pollution. A recent report by Hip Hop, Stand.earth and others, titled “Citi: Funding Fossil-Fueled Environmental Racism in the Gulf South,” documents Citi's investment in moreover four liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminals, the GHG emissions they'll emit and the resulting health harms they'll inflict on moreover minoritized communities. As likely the frontline example of environmental racism should cause one to recall the prosecutor's closing argument in the George Floyd case, “if you're doing something that hurts somebody, and you know it, you're doing it on purpose.” The report is at: Citi-Funding-Fossil-Fueled-Environmental-Racism-in-the-Gulf-South.pdf.Info on the Hip Hop Caucus is at: https://hiphopcaucus.org/.Info on Stand.earth is at: https://stand.earth/resources/citi-enviro-racism/Info on Rise St. James is at: https://risestjames.org/As for our failure to make any progress in addressing health equity see, e.g., this JAMA-published research in 2019: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2736934 This is a public episode.

The Gulf South just got hit with a rare blizzard, and we're breaking it all down—snow struggles, unexpected places it fell, the ultimate snow day wish list, and the best winter songs and movies! From frozen windshields to failed snowmen, join us for laughs, lessons, and a cozy recap of this once-in-a-lifetime Southern snowstorm!

On today's show, Don previews a nice Spring season ahead of us as much of Louisiana's waters look to bounce back from that once in a lifetime snow storm that struck the Gulf South recently before diving into field reports from the likes of our gallery of reports covering topics such as using the time now to prep for a nice season of Spring and Summer fishing, an exotic hunt happening in Oklahoma with the some Tigers out in the wild, a Grand Isle report as fish kills are still a concern. Later on, Don discusses the right way to sit your lures and bait on the water to keep fish hooked, a live report from the Minimalist Challenge as the bait is handed out and the participants get to paddling, a Bad Boys tale that really shows how despicable some people can be, and Ryan Lambert tells us how he would change the way Louisiana does their zones and splits during Duck season.

This hour, Don welcomes us into February as we take a look at what is National Serpent Day before calling up Robbie Campo of Campo's Marina on if the fish kills we were fearful of have shown up, and what you should be doing if you are not on the water this weekend. Later on, Don gets together with his Bayou Wild TV Tigers in the Wild co-host, Lance Burgos, who are up in Oklahoma watching some Tigers out in the wild and Daryl Carpenter tells us all about how the fishing around Grand Isle is rebounding after the huge blizzard that struck the Gulf South.

It's Day 2 of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s  confirmation hearing to be Health Secretary, and many are wondering how Republican Senator Bill Cassidy will vote.  The former emergency room doctor has concerns about the vaccine skeptic. Although Cassidy mostly votes along party lines, he did vote to impeach Trump on Jan. 6 charges. The Times-Picayune/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist Stepahnie Grace joined the show to share the latest. The new movie about the life of Bob Dylan, “A Complete Unknown,” is shedding a light on the folk music revival. But many don't know how Louisiana musician Huddie Leadbetter, or Lead Belly, played a role in expanding the genre. While his framed portrait only makes a brief cameo in the film, Lead Belly was a big influence on folk artists like Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. Although the common narrative insists he was “discovered” by white folklorists while locked up in Angola Prison, a new book is separating fact from fiction.  Sheila Curran Bernard is the author of “Bring Judgment Day: Reclaiming Lead Belly's Truths from Jim Crow's Lies.” She breaks down the myths of his career and how he expanded folk and blues music across the U.S. and Europe.Poor sanitation is a longstanding issue in the Gulf South, especially in Alabama's Black Belt where the soil is a problem for traditional septic systems. The state's previous rules for funding water infrastructure made it difficult for residents to fix sanitation issues themselves. The Gulf States Newsroom's Danny McArthur reports on the patchwork of people and groups trying to address the problem.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

You might already know this if you've been to college, but prices have accelerated just in the last few years. And while tuition hikes and admission practices often create barriers of entry to higher education, sometimes it's that are prohibitively expensive, as they're often not covered by scholarships. As the spring semester gets into swing at schools across Louisiana, we found ourselves interested in efforts LSU is taking to address the accelerating problem of college textbook prices. Allen LeBlanc, Open Scholarship Librarian, at LSU Libraries tells us more about solutions.In June 2024, researchers released a medical study involving one Out Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge. It looked at techniques for intubating patients, the practice putting a tube down your throat to provide ventilation, is something that's generally done when you're in critical condition. The trial involved Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge as well as other ERs and ICUs across the nation.

From 1845 to 1865 the Gulf of Mexico was at the center of American expansion and southern imperialism. A Continuous State of War: Empire Building and Race Making in the Civil War–Era Gulf South (University of Georgia Press, 2024) by Dr. Maria Angela Diaz tells the story of several communities, such as Galveston, New Orleans, and Pensacola, as well as countries such as Mexico and Cuba, to uncover the way that wars within the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico facilitated American and southern attempts to conquer Latin American nations. In the push for westward expansion that preceded the Civil War, white southerners along with other Americans engaged in violent conquest in Latin America and the American West. Through the wars that are chronicled here, white southern concepts of race became more rigidly fixed. Dr. Maria Angela Diaz covers several conflicts leading up to the Civil War with Mexicans, Cubans, and Native Americans. She places the Civil War within this framework and follows the trajectory of relations with Latin America through the end of the Civil War and ex-Confederates' attempts to emigrate abroad. Gulf Coast communities facilitated both the physical efforts to seize territory and the construction of the highly racialized imperialist ideas that reimagined Latin America as a region that could secure the South's future. Yet the pursuit of that territory created a fluctuating and uncertain situation that shaped the choices of the diverse peoples who lived along the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico in ways they did not expect. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Dr. Maria Angela Diaz covers several conflicts leading up to the Civil War with Mexicans, Cubans, and Native Americans. She places the Civil War within this framework and follows the trajectory of relations with Latin America through the end of the Civil War and ex-Confederates' attempts to emigrate abroad. Gulf Coast communities facilitated both the physical efforts to seize territory and the construction of the highly racialized imperialist ideas that reimagined Latin America as a region that could secure the South's future. Yet the pursuit of that territory created a fluctuating and uncertain situation that shaped the choices of the diverse peoples who lived along the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico in ways they did not expect. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

598. Part 2 of our conversation with Liz Ellis about The Great Power of Small Nations. Ellis (Peoria) tells the stories of the many smaller Native American nations that shaped the development of the Gulf South. Based on extensive archival research and oral histories, Ellis's narrative chronicles how diverse Indigenous peoples—including Biloxis, Choctaws, Chitimachas, Chickasaws, Houmas, Mobilians, and Tunicas—influenced and often challenged the growth of colonial Louisiana. The book centers on questions of Native nation-building and international diplomacy, and it argues that Native American migration and practices of offering refuge to migrants in crisis enabled Native nations to survive the violence of colonization. Elizabeth N. Ellis (Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma) is Associate Professor of History at Princeton University.  Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

This week in Louisiana history. October 26, 1810. Fulwar Skipwith is elected first (last, and only) governor of the State of West Florida. This week in New Orleans history. Mahalia Jackson, one of America's greatest gospel singers, was born in New Orleans on October 26, 1911 to Charity Clark, a laundress and maid, and Johnny Jackson, a Baptist preacher, barber and longshoreman. She attended McDonogh School No. 24 until the eighth grade. Influenced by the music of the Sanctified Church she began singing at the young age of four in the children's choir of Plymouth Rock Baptist Church. In 1927, Mahalia migrated to Chicago and while working as a maid, laundress and date packer studied beauty culture at Madam C. J. Walker's and Scott Institute of Beauty Culture. She opened a beauty shop after this training. When the director of the choir at Greater Salem Baptist Church in Chicago heard her sing she became the choir's first soloist. Her beautiful voice made her popular. During the 1930s, she toured the "storefront church circuit" singing to congregations. Jackson bridged the gap between the sacred and the secular in her performances, often using scriptures to justify her use of hand clapping and stomping while singing. The next two decades found Mahalia recording songs and touring the United States and Europe. She became closely associated with the civil rights movement during the 1960s often singing at benefits for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the boycotters and student sit-ins. Jackson died on January 27, 1972 and is buried in Providence Memorial Park in Metairie.

Today, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains an average of 37,000 migrants each night. To do so, they rely on, and pay for, the use of hundreds of local jails. But this is nothing new: the federal government has been detaining migrants in city and county jails for more than 100 years.  In The Migrant's Jail: An American History of Mass Incarceration (Princeton UP, 2024), Brianna Nofil examines how a century of political, ideological, and economic exchange between the U.S. immigration bureaucracy and the criminal justice system gave rise to the world's largest system of migrant incarceration. Migrant detention is not simply an outgrowth of mass incarceration; rather, it has propelled carceral state-building and fostered intergovernmental policing efforts since the turn of the twentieth century. From the incarceration of Chinese migrants in New York in the 1900s and 1910s to the jailing of Caribbean refugees in Gulf South lockups of the 1980s and 1990s, federal immigration authorities provided communities with a cash windfall that they used to cut taxes, reward local officials, and build bigger jails--which they then had incentive to fill. Trapped in America's patchwork detention networks, migrants turned to courts, embassies, and the media to challenge the cruel paradox of "administrative imprisonment." Drawing on immigration records, affidavits, protest letters, and a variety of local sources, Nofil excavates the web of political negotiations, financial deals, and legal precedents that allows the United States to incarcerate migrants with little accountability and devastating consequences.
