The South needs “Yankees.” An ex-Confederate, discussing Alexandria, said: “A dozen live Yankees would regenerate this town, and make fortunes at it.” They would pave the streets, cover in the sewers, build up the vacant spots in the heart of the city, supply mechanical work at less inhuman prices than are now charged, and make this rich and intelligent community as attractive in appearance as the citizens are socially. One such man has made a new city of Alexandria. He has made the people pave their streets, put in modern sewerage, water, electricity, etc., build most creditable structures to house the public officials, and in a word, has “hustled the South,” till it had to put him temporarily out of office until it got its “second wind.” This week in Louisiana history.

Tune in for '20 Years after Katrina: New Orleans Second Line Music Before and After the Storm: Field Recordings and Interview with Musicologist Nelson Eubanks' hosted with Jacob.ABOUT NELSON EUBANKSBorn in New York City, Nelson Eubanks grew up in New York and New Jersey. He received a B.A. from Columbia University in 1994, an M.A. in creative writing from the university of San Francisco in 1998 and an MFA in creative writing from Columbia University in 2003. Eubanks published his first book 'The First Thing Smoking' in 2003, he is a 2023 recipient of the Jazz Road Creative Residencies Grant and founder of Melodius Thunk Productions.Melodious Thunk began before Hurricane Katrina as a community project in the Crescent City by a small group of New Orleans artists hoping to record the Sunday 2nd Line Parades. Over the years we've grown as we've ventured round the world into other sonic communities filled with like minded folks enamored by the exhilarating sounds of music in the street. We go out and find the music alive in its element in the streets of the musician's homes where folks feel comfortable enough to do what they wanna, let go, sing along, have a time. Then we ask the musicians about their sound so they can tell us in their own words what makes their rhythms so magnificent. Our mission is to be a bridge between the music of the street and your eyes and ears by fully documenting both rising artists and master musicians playing authentic, unfiltered rhythms in juke joints, at music festivals, in their homes, their corners, their bars, on their porches and then too, the very much under-documented great moving parades and processions of our time.This CREATIVES interview with Nelson Eubanks hosted with Jacob aired onWednesday September 3 at 5pm.

Where Y'Eat: After Katrina, New Orleans Restaurants Served More Than Meals

Where Y'Eat: After Katrina, New Orleans Bars Returned as Vital Outposts

American students are falling behind while local school boards are preoccupied with culture war controversies. Is local democratic control of schools a detriment to improving student outcomes? Vlad Kogan finds that school boards regularly prioritize the needs of teachers and administrators over students. Elections are unrepresentative and sometimes partisan and drive schools to distraction. He draws surprisingly positive lessons from post-Katrina New Orleans and Chicago school closures and argues for on-cycle elections that grade schools on student achievement.

Nach dem verheerenden Hurrikan Katrina 2005 stand New Orleans tagelang unter Wasser. Über 1800 Menschen starben. Danach wurde in den Katastrophenschutz investiert.

Steve Zahn gained early attention for his breakout roles in the 1990s, including “Reality Bites” and “That Thing You Do!” He became a frequent scene-stealer in films like “Out of Sight,” “Happy, Texas,” and “Saving Silverman,” showcasing his offbeat humor and charm. In HBO's “Treme,” he played a passionate music teacher navigating post-Katrina New Orleans. More recently, he appeared in the first season of “The White Lotus,” earning critical acclaim for his role as a troubled father on vacation. His latest is personal on multiple levels—the indie film “She Dances,” which he co-wrote with his producing partner Rick Gomez, who also directs. On this episode, he talks about co-staring in that film with his daughter Audrey, and being continually blown away by her work. He takes us back to his early stage work, makes a case for the importance of rehearsal, gives us the two attributes that make a great director, explains why he loves the communal aspect of filmmaking, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram

This episode is supported by La-Z-Boy of Amarillo and Panhandle Plains Historical Museum.

broadcasting straight from the heart of the jacuzzi-verse (in a quantum overlap with the heart of the western imperialist, death-cult empire!), let's talk about death, baby. but death and uncertainty as secret core drivers of our lives via the unconscious decisions we make, the people we gravitate towards, and the ways we feel about ourselves. so, let's take a cosmically unhinged journey through the twisty relationship between death awareness, collective death anxiety, and self-esteem. AND THEN, we'll explore what's on the other side—the hope, the compassion, the binary-dissolving, the power of mutualism! dana also shares about her time in post-Katrina New Orleans and more. we truly hope you enjoy this episode of crying in my jacuzzi, where we live, laugh, love in the anthropocene.~show notes (aka a reading list you really need)~"worm at the core: on the role of death in life" by sheldon solomon"foundations of violence" by grace jantzen"this mortal coil" article in SUN magazine"a paradise built in hell: the extraordinary communities that arise in disaster" by rebecca solnit"mutual aid: an illuminated factor of evolution" ak press"solidarity: the past, present and future of a world-changing idea" by astra taylor and leah hunt-hendrix/// sound-editing/design ~ rose blakelock, theme song ~ kat ottosen, podcast art ~ natalee miller///Support the Show.

Jamie and Sam are joined by author and academic Adam Greenfield to discuss his new book Lifehouse: Taking Care Of Ourselves in a World On Fire, out now on Verso. In it, Greenfield makes a well-supported case that world governments will not be able to get a handle on climate change in time to stave off widespread catastrophe. He then examines past mutual aid efforts including Occupy Sandy in New York City, Common Grounds in post-Katrina New Orleans, post-austerity solidarity networks in Greece, and the programs of the Black Panther Party. In these moments, Greenfield identifies modes of solidarity and participatory democracy that might become the building blocks of a new society. In his final chapter, he sets forth a bold proposal for a confederated network of lifehouses...and that's most of what we talk about in this half!

The story of Charles Joseph “Buddy” Bolden — also known as King Bolden — is the story of jazz itself at its very beginnings. A trumpet player in New Orleans in the first years of the 20th Century, Bolden influenced several generations of jazz players.No recordings of Bolden exist, but the great Jelly Roll Morton called him “the most powerful trumpet player I've ever heard.” This tune was Bolden's only known piece of original music, a song that he called “Funky Butt.” Jelly Roll later recorded it with the opening line, “I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say,” and that is why it has come down to us with Morton's title: “Buddy Bolden's Blues.” Jelly Roll was the only person recording the tune who actually heard Buddy play it. About BuddyBolden and his band were at their peak in New Orleans from around 1900 to 1907. He was known for his loud sound and his imaginative improvisational skills, a style that had a profound impact on younger musicians who crowded around to hear him.Buddy is credited with (1) creating a looser, more improvised version of ragtime and (2) adding to it blues played by brass instruments. He also was said to have adapted ideas from gospel music that he heard in uptown African-American Baptist churches around the Crescent City.The Butt that was FunkyBolden's best-known number, "Funky Butt," is perhaps the earliest reference to funk in popular music. So, let's address that name. Several theories exist… and, ahem, some of them are even printable. Jazz guitarist/banjoist Danny Barker, for instance, said “funky butt” was a reference to the olfactory effect of an auditorium packed with sweaty people "dancing close together and belly rubbing."Dance definitely seems central to the story. Others say the name refers to a specific dance in which women lifted their skirts, revealing their petticoats, then moved their hips suggestively. Particularly popular among burlesque dancers of the day, “The Funky Butt” is believed to have begun in the 1890s, which is about the time little Buddy Bolden was growing (and probably looking) up.The Club that was the ButtIncidentally, a popular jazz club in pre-Katrina New Orleans was called “Funky Butt,” in honor of Bolden. The venue, located on North Rampart Street at Congo Square, featured a lounge, patio, balcony, restaurant and music club called The Danny Barker Music Room. It was famous for a sassy drink known as “Sweet Brown Juicy Booty.” Unfortunately, the August 2005 hurricane that devastated New Orleans destroyed the club. The following year, an attempt was made to reopen, but it failed to get a musical license (during this period the inside of the building was stripped).Our Take On the TuneMultiple variations of Buddy Bolden's song have circulated over the years. The Flood learned its version from a 1961 Folkways recording by bluesmen Rolf Cahn and Eric von Schmidt (the same wonderful old disc that inspired two other Flood standards, our takes on “Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor” and “Lazarus,” featured in earlier podcasts).“Buddy Bolden's Blues,” which has drifted in and out of our repertoire over the years, drifted back in earlier this month on a sultry summer night that had a decidedly New Orleans tang to it.

538. This week we talk to Jared Fishman about prosecuting the case of a post-Katrina police cover-up in New Orleans.  Jared, a "former federal prosecutor and founder of Justice Innovation Lab tells the story of his struggle to unravel the cover-up of a police shooting, and subsequent incineration of the shooting victim, in Hurricane Katrina–era New Orleans... Fire on the Levee tells the story of a young idealistic prosecutor determined to bring the truth to light. The case would lead to major reforms in the New Orleans Police Department and ultimately change our understanding of race, policing and justice in post-Katrina New Orleans and beyond" (HarperCollins). This week in Louisiana history. September 1, 1715. King Louis XIV died. This week in New Orleans history. This week in Louisiana. On September 9. 1967, the New Orleans Saints played their first game in New Orleans and had their first ever preseason win at Tulane Stadium, defeating the Atlanta Falcons, 27-14. This win earned the Saints a 5-1 preseason record -- the best ever for a new expansion team. It also began the rivalry between the two teams. Press accounts from that game, including the Rome (Ga.) News-Tribune and Los Angeles Times, referred to it as the "Dixie Championship." In recent years, the game has sometimes been referred to as the "Southern Showdown."  Postcards from Louisiana.

“FIRE ON THE LEVEE: The Murder of Henry Glover and the Search for Justice after Hurricane Katrina” is a new book by Jared Fishman, former federal prosecutor and executive director of the Justice Innovation Lab. Co-written with Joseph Hooper, this book tells the behind-the-scenes story of Fishman's battle to unravel the cover-up of the murder of a Black man by a notoriously corrupt police department in post-Katrina New Orleans. Jared Fishman tells us more about this new book, and what it says about police accountability and creating more equitable justice systems.  Nationally, activists have called for stronger protections for cemeteries that hold the remains of those who were enslaved. In Louisiana, the same groups opposing new industrial development along the Mississippi River say companies looking to build plants should be required to do more thorough surveying of their proposed sites to ensure burial sites for the formerly enslaved will not be disturbed.  The Coastal Desk's Halle Parker joins us today for more. But first, after a string of deadly tornadoes cut through Mississippi, residents in some rural towns said they didn't get enough advanced warning. For the Gulf States Newsroom, Danny McArthur explores how emergency warning systems are supposed to work and the gaps that exist in our region.

Change is good. Right? Well, maybe not when you tack the word "climate" in front of it. with a changing climate and rising utility costs, the way we design and build our structures and communities is changing to keep up. And while that presents new challenges it also presents opportunities for those who are thinking about and rethinking the way we do things.   Tom Neyhart is founder and CEO of PosiGen, a Louisiana-based company that designs and installs solar systems to homes in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and communities of color. Tom founded the company in 2011, after growing frustrated with the disparate recovery process in post-Katrina New Orleans and wanting to do something to help those with limited means find better more affordable ways to rebuild and move forward. PosiGen provides that help by designing and installing solar-power systems, including solar hot water systems, with roofing and energy-efficiency services added to the mix. The systems are available for purchase or lease and customers have a two-way net meter installed on their homes so they are credited for power they generate. In the decade since its founding, PosiGen has served more than 18-thousand customers, underscoring the needs for the services it provides. Tom is a native of Ohio, who came to LSU in the early 1980s to study petroleum engineering and wrestle for the LSU Tigers.  Ken Tipton is a planner, architect and the Managing Partner at Tipton Associates, a Baton Rouge firm that has worked on the design or renovation of some of Baton Rouge's best-known structures, including the main library at Goodwood, the LSU Huey P.

Join abolitionist organizers connecting the dots between surveillance capitalism, border imperialism, and neoliberal prison reforms. A dominant mode of our time, data analysis and prediction are part of a longstanding historical process of racial and national profiling, management and control in the US. In a new report, From Data Criminalization to Prison Abolition, Community Justice Exchange examines the interlocked machineries of migrant surveillance and describes processes of “data criminalization:” the creation, archiving, theft, resale and analysis of datasets that mark some of us as threats and risks, based on data culled about us from state and commercial sources. How might we fight data criminalization on our terms? Rather than being drawn into arguments about privacy, accuracy, or the theatrics of consumer consent and regulatory oversight, we assert that these datasets are inherently illegitimate, and creation and use of them should be abolished. What if we organized our resistance based on that premise? Speakers: J. Khadijah Abdurahman is an abolitionist whose research focus is predictive analytics in the US child welfare system and the Horn of Africa. They are the founder of We Be Imagining, a public interest technology project at Columbia University's INCITE Center and The American Assembly's Democracy and Trust Program. WBI draws on the Black radical tradition to develop public technology through infusing academic discourse with the performance arts in partnership with community based organizations. Jacinta González is a senior campaign organizer with Mijente and leads their #NoTechforICE campaign. Previously, she worked at PODER in México, organizing the Río Sonora River Basin committees against water contamination by the mining industry. Jacinta was the lead organizer for the New Orleans Workers' Center for Racial Justice Congress of Day Laborers (2007-2014). In Louisiana Gonzalez helped establish a base of day laborers and undocumented families dedicated to building worker power, advancing racial justice, and organizing against deportations in post-Katrina New Orleans. Sarah T. Hamid (she/her/no preference) is an abolitionist and organizer working in the Pacific Northwest. She leads the policing technology campaign at the Carceral Tech Resistance Network: an archiving and knowledge sharing network for organizers building community defense against the design, roll-out, and experimentation of carceral technologies. Sarah co-founded the inside/outside research collaboration, the Prison Tech Research Group, and helped create the #8toAbolition campaign—a police and prison abolition resource built during last summer's uprisings against state violence. Puck Lo (she/they) is the Research Director of Community Justice Exchange, an abolitionist organization that supports organizers to fight all forms of incarceration and social control. They spent the last year examining Department of Homeland Security's data regimes and other expanding systems of corporeal theft and predictive criminalization. Harsha Walia (moderator) is the author of Border and Rule and Undoing Border Imperialism and an organizer rooted in migrant justice, abolitionist, antiracist, feminist, anti-imperialist, and anticapitalist movements for over two decades.

www.yourlisteningpartner.com  Youtube version https://youtu.be/obtHBXrSVPs I'm Dr. Clare Biedenharn Clare with glasses and a big smile, sitting at a table. My passion is listening. With over twenty years of experience as an industrial chaplain, hospital chaplain, and a pastor, I have had plenty of opportunities to hone my skills. My study with critical care nurses in hospitals supported the idea that in both professional and personal settings intentional listening leads to deep connection. My new book, Heart to Heart: Spiritual Care Through Deep Listening, is a practical guide to listening as both an art and a practice. Over 21 years of experience: 12 years industrial chaplain in the Mississippi Delta serving a variety of businesses that manufactured everything from flooring to food distribution to oil rig assembly 7 years as a Board-Certified chaplain (BCC) serving in critical care at a hospital in post-hurricane Katrina New Orleans 2 years as Planetree patient centered care training facilitator 3 years as family support Liaison helping families with organ donation decisions 10 years in the local church pastoring 8 churches as an elder in the United Methodist Church

For a couple of years, I'd say the most common investigation request I'd get was "Why doesn't Lafayette recycle glass?" The natural follow-up, of course, is... "What happens to it?" Well...for most of the glass you use - it ends up in a landfill. Even the stuff you thought you were recycling all those years ago. And here's a disturbing fact: Glass takes one million years to degrade in a landfill. Think carefully before you toss that High Life bottle in the trash can.  There is another option. Not recycling: upcycling. What's the difference? Finding a new and improved use for your rubbish. Glass makes great mulch. It keeps the weeds, mold and mildew at bay. It doesn't have to be changed out too much. And it's lovely. It'll make your garden glimmer.  How do you make glass mulch? Tina Crapsi of Backyard Sapphire does it with a glass crusher she built herself. The “annihilator” can turn a case of beer into a pound of mulch in 15 seconds. Backyard Sapphire processes the glass and turns it into custom blends of colorful mulch. The service went viral quickly, and Tina and her partner Dawn signed up a few dozen subscription customers for curbside pickup and have begun working with local businesses, too. Bit by bit, Backyard Sapphire's grassroots approach is keeping tons of glass out of local landfills. So we're trying to clean up the ground, what about the air we breathe? Carbon emissions aren't the only toxin affecting our respiratory health. In Louisiana, we're in a constant battle with mold.  Mold grows fast. It'll spread with just 60% humidity in the air. Now imagine what happens after a hurricane? A home exposed to water can be overwhelmed with mold within hours.  We've actually managed to make this problem worse in the modern era. Drywall and synthetic glues have made building homes cheaper, but they've also created breeding grounds for mold. Just a little bit of water can create serious problems.  That means mold remediation is essential business in our neck of the swamp, but it's actually not that common. Nicole Guillory Wenger and her husband founded DryMax in 2010 to respond to that gap. Nicole previously worked in architecture and did restoration work in post-Katrina New Orleans. DryMax has since come to specialize in remediation, working a range of projects from post-disaster clean up to remediating historic buildings. In Louisiana, there's no shortage of work in the mold business. And Nicole spends a lot of her time teaching customers about what to look for in a quality mold contractor, even if she can't take their work. Out to Lunch Acadiana is recorded live over lunch at Tula Tacos + Amigos in downtown Lafayette. You can find photos from this show by Astor Morgan at our website.

In this episode of Salon B, our senior social science editor, Tony Mason, talks with the series editors of Catastrophes in Context, a Berghahn series that aims to bring critical attention to the social, political, economic, and cultural structures that create disasters, out of natural hazards or political events, and that shape the responses. The conversation focuses on the parallels between human created disasters and natural phenomena, what Disasters Studies has to say about contemporary issues, such as Haiti and post-Katrina New Orleans, as well as representation and diversity in the field of Disaster Studies, as well as the series editors' plans for the future.   Learn more about the book series here:  Berghahn Series: Catastrophes in Context

When discussing the pantheon of the best actor/director collaborations in film, you rarely hear about Denzel Washington and Tony Scott. From 1995 until Scott's untimely death in 2012, the pair worked together on five of the best action films of the 90s and 2000s. While Denzel is one of our most beloved and acclaimed movie stars, Scott long lived in the shadow of his brother, Ridley, mostly written off by critics as a technician and hack. Today on the podcast, we're looking back at their underrated collaboration by focusing on two of their outputs during the War on Terror, both of which saw Denzel up against unhinged white terrorists: the 2006 time travel romance thriller "Déjà Vu" and the 2009 remake of "The Taking of Pelham 123." Evoking some of the most striking and disturbing imagery of 9/11, "Déjà Vu" acted as a love letter to a post-Katrina New Orleans, while paying homage to films like Otto Preminger's "Laura" and Hitchcock's "Vertigo," while paving the way for the more critically acclaimed works of Christopher Nolan. We're joined by film journalist and writer Abid Anwar to discuss the every-man appeal of Denzel, Scott's influence on the genre for several decades, and why critics were sour on these two thrillers while showering jingoistic and racist depictions of terrorism in film with endless praise. Both of these Denzel/Scott collaborations are currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

We spoke to Chef Toya Boudy about her career in entertainment cooking. We talked about her travels in the Food Network competition circuit, her new spice blend, and her podcast. Also Louis XVI, and Mexican food in post-Katrina New Orleans.

Doctors from various specialties from across the world will be joining me for conversations. My first guest is the fantastic Dr. Jarita Hagans! We'll be talking gardening, cooking, using food as medicine, and her new clinic, Zion Family Practice (opening in September). Jarita Hagans, M.D. is a board-certified family physician, foodie, gardener, and author. She attended Howard University in Washington, D.C. for undergraduate and medical school. Afterward, she completed a surgery internship at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia. Eastern Virginia Medical School at Portsmouth Family Medicine is where she received her Family Medicine training. After residency, she practiced medicine at a community clinic in post-hurricane Katrina New Orleans and developed a love for cooking, gardening, and natural remedies. She is rolling those passions into an online meal prep business for busy professional women and a soon-coming brick and mortar Family Practice office in Washington, DC. @doctorjarita on Instagram and Twitter YouTube: https://youtube.com/user/1titilayo --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/urcaringdocs/message

There is no denying that violent crime rates have increased to historic highs across the nation. The body count in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and St. Louis continue to rise - with 2020 matching or exceeding historic 1970s records.   As a nation, murder is up over 25%. In fact, according to the Washington Post, 2020 was the deadliest year for gun violence, but 2021 is worse. Through the first five months of 2021, gunfire killed more than 8,100 people in the United States, about 54 lives lost per day, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive. That's 14 more deaths per day than the average toll during the same period of the previous six years - 4 of those years under President Trump.  Over the last several months, The Biden Administration has used this statistical data, with far-left radicals within the Justice Department, led by Attorney General Merrick Garland and Biden's pick to lead the ATF, David Chipman, who is marred in Senate debate, with both seeing the disarming of law-abiding Americans as their #1 objective.  Chipman and Garland share a brain when it comes to American gun ownership. For Garland, he looks to use his far-reaching power to survey gun-owning Americans; for Chipman, if the Senate approves his nomination, would use his authority within the ATF to bring the gun industry to its knees.  Some of the moderate Democratic senators who are gun owners and needed to confirm President Biden's pick to run the ATF are still undecided of his true intentions. Republican Senator Susan Collins, who has shown a willingness to support many of Biden's nominations, indicated several weeks ago her intent to vote against Chipman. In a quote, she cited that he is "an outspoken critic of the firearms industry and has made statements that demean law-abiding gun owners." Over the last year, the United States, led by liberal enforcers of the law, have used the coronavirus and make-believe racial tensions as the cause for extreme constitutional violations. We have seen members of the Democratic Party and their minions across all spectrums restrict free speech, the practice of worship, and access to education, all in the name of inclusivity and safety.  According to the National Rifle Association's Institute of Legislative Action, the disorder of the storm's aftermath – and the inability of local law enforcement to contain it – brought into stark realization the importance of the right to keep and bear arms to provide for the defense of oneself, loved ones, and community. Stories of looting and violence abounded. A police chief described post-Katrina New Orleans by stating, "it was like Mogadishu." New Orleans citizens behaved like pirates and savages, burning, destroying, and looting businesses and homes, ravaging the city as most of it sat underwater.  Despite their inability to cope with the resulting mayhem, several days after the storm passed, New Orleans officials ordered the confiscation of lawfully-owned firearms from city residents. In a September 8, 2005 article, the New York Times described the scene, stating, "Local police officers began confiscating weapons from civilians in preparation for a forced evacuation of the last holdouts still living here… Police officers and federal law enforcement agents scoured the city carrying assault rifles. As reported by the Washington Post, New Orleans Superintendent P. Edwin Compass made clear, "No one will be able to be armed," and, "Guns will be taken, only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns." On September 23, Judge Jay Zainey granted a temporary restraining order barring New Orleans and the surrounding communities from further confiscations and required that the seized guns be returned. Some of the returns took months to complete.  And there you have it, a pure illustration of liberal thinking during a crisis - and this occurred with a Republican in the White House. In August 2005, the liberal media was too busy chastising President Bush and FEMA's response to the devastation left by Katrina to cover the illegal confiscation of guns by Democratic Mayor, turned convicted felon, Mayor Ray Nagin.  When is American going to learn? Sixteen years ago, liberal enforcers and lawmakers violated the constitutional rights of Americans all in the name of safety and security - just like they did in 2020 and 2021. Due to the coronavirus, Democrat mayors and governors across the nation trampled on the God-given rights of legal and law-abiding citizens, using fear and intimidation of imprisonment to deter those who defy their unjust actions and orders.  In 2005, you heard the remarks made by New Orleans officials; only law enforcement will have guns - but you see, that's what Biden and members of his administration have up their sleeve. No, it isn't law enforcement of conservative locales they want to be armed, rather vigorous, militarized federal law enforcement agencies that will, under duress and force, demand the following of radical, liberal policies.  In the last 18-months, liberals had attacked and demanded surrender when they attacked our rights to assemble and worship freely. Now, they will use the actions of those who follow them, the anarchist, the criminals, and the thugs, to beef up crime to pad their need for liberal policy initiatives which will look to disarm Americans and forever demand obedience from those who reject liberal socialism.  Philosopher George Santayana is coined by saying, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." For nearly a generation, our country has been invaded by leeches of liberalism, sucking the life and liberty of Americans. And now, under the direct guidance of Biden and those within his administration, they will stop at nothing until you and your family are defenseless and powerless to protest their political and societal power.  The Second Amendment was founded to protect citizens from their government, not the other way around.  Music courtesy of Greg Shields Music. http://www.reverbnation.com/GregShields

Since then, the movement has grown into a nationwide fight for an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy few. For too long, our economic system has been rigged by the rich for their own benefit. Tax March organizers across the country are working to fix the broken system and ensure all people have access to economic tools that allow them to not only live but thrive. It is time to reform the tax code, close loopholes for the wealthy and big corporations, return to taxing the rich, build an economy that invests in all people, and prioritize economic justice, particularly for communities of color.Join the Patreon fam @  https://www.patreon.com/MonstersWalkHuge thanks to our Patrons – Delaney, Mikey, Rachael, Meredith, Ashlyn, Dana, Kieran, and Caitlyn!Follow us on IG @ HiddenMonstersWalkEmail:  Hidden.Monsters.Walk@gmail.comLeave us a 5-star rating & review on Apple PodcastsSources :Reddit - r/TrueCrime -https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrime/comments/823cgq/zack_and_addiemurdersuicide_and_how_addie_ended/Ghost City Tours - https://ghostcitytours.com/new-orleans/ghost-stories/zack-addie/The Gruesome Tale of Zack Bowen and Addie Hall -  Delani R.

In this episode Michelle and Nadya have the pleasure of sitting down with Vanessa Adriance, a multi-hyphenate badass. Vanessa is a lawyer working in environmental litigation, an amateur boxer out of Wildcard Boxing, and author. Vanessa takes us through her journey from post Katrina New Orleans to Los Angeles, her divorce and finding her true voice through boxing under the tutelage of Zac “Kid Yamaka” Wohlman. We also talk about how important and necessary combat sports are for women (and people in general) in regards to increasing confidence, learning how to listen to your body, learning of the peaks women are capable of achieving...and come to a conclusion that everyone needs to get punched in the face at least once in their lives.

When someone does you wrong, it can be hard to forgive. Without forgiveness, we can't move on. Host Asya Gonzalez reads the chapter, The Gift of Forgiveness, from both books, Be the Star You Are!® for Teens and Be the Star You Are!® 99 Gifts for Living, Loving, Laughing, and Learning to Make a Difference where we learn that time spent blaming and complaining is totally wasted. We are the winners, not the losers, when we forgive and let go because it means that we can also forgive ourselves. Co-host Caiseen Kelly joins Asya to interview mega best selling author Mary Nethery about why she writes about forgiveness in her forthcoming novel, Nabbed in New Orleans. Mary Nethery deals with a band of friends on an adventure in post Katrina New Orleans in which they discover love, friendship, and find forgiveness. Finally, our teen hosts discuss how forgiveness has moved them forward in their own lives and how teens can embrace this virtue. Forgive and forge ahead.
