The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning to replace a 100-year-old canal lock that connects the Mississippi River to the Industrial Canal in the Lower Ninth Ward. The project has an estimated timeline of 13 years and a budget of more than $1 billion. Also in the works is a plan to build a $30 million grain terminal in Holy Cross.These projects are concerning residents, who worry they could lead to flooding,pollution and other issues. Sam Bowler, organizer with The Canal Will Kill NOLA, tells us how community members are fighting back, including their upcoming 5K race to raise awareness. Since Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has made major cuts to national government agencies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is no exception. The administration has fired four senior FEMA senior officials, reduced staffing by 84 percent and declared they would, “get rid of FEMA the way it exists today.”Sarah Labowitz, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, tells us how these changes could dramatically alter how Gulf states prepare for and respond to natural disasters. A new collection of essays, art and poetry by men incarcerated at the Mississippi State Penitentiary -- best known as Parchman Farm -- is shedding light on one of the country's most notorious prison units. For The Gulf States Newsroom, Mississippi Public Broadcasting's Michael McEwen tells us how this effort began shortly after the most violent period in Parchman's history. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

No son las murder ballads de Nick Cave. De hecho, ¿quién es Nick Cave? En este episodio musical, Benja y Kiko seleccionan sus canciones favoritas sobre muerte y asesinos, y lo hacen sin incluir un solo blues. De acuerdo, hay uno (“Parchman farm”), pero casi no cuenta. El resto son hits de su canon personal, y oscilan entre lo conocido y lo archi-ignoto: “Polly” (versión Amanda Palmer & Grand Theft Orchestra); “Richard Speck” de The Chesterfield Kings; “Last Caress” de Misfits, version Parasites (la única canción pop que incluye la frase “I killed a baby today”); “I against I” de massive Attack & Mos Def; “Drag the lake, Charlie” de Drive-By Truckers (como un relato de Flannery O'Connor musicado); y también “Janie's got a gun” y “Suffer Little children” y “Nebraska” y “Jack the Ripper”… Todos comentados con su inclasificable oratoria, mezcla de despacho de antropólogo y bar de Santako. Incluye murder ballad inédita, confeccionada por Benja Villegas en su estudio casero (“The balcony ballad”).

In 1975, a body was found floating in the Nation River near Casselman, Ontario, Canada. It would take decades to identify her, and her killer.

You may not know it, but you've probably seen Joan Trumpauer Mulholland's mugshot. Or the back of her head in the world-famous photo of the Woolworth's sit-in in Jackson, MS as civil rights activists were harassed and assaulted by a mob of white segregationists. Joan was an activist in the Civil Rights movement who by the age of 23, had spent two months on death row at Parchman prison for participating in the Freedom Rides of 1961, had been nearly killed by the Klan in Mississippi, and had stood her ground for justice at countless sit-ins, protests, and rallies. Despite coming from a wealthy, white family in the South, she knew the world would only become a more just place if she accepted her call to become a peacemaker and advocate on behalf of her disenfranchised neighbors. And she has inspired generations of others behind her to believe in their agency too. As her son has pointed out, she was and is an “ordinary hero.”In this special ‘live” episode, we get to hear from Ms. Mulholland herself on the events of her life and how she found the courage to be a peacemaker time and again. We were also joined by her son Loki, who is now an accomplished educator, filmmaker, and advocate for justice himself, on the work they are doing together today to “educate to end hate.” We loved getting to hear from these two, and were so inspired by their courage and humility.

While Ken is traveling on the Civil Rights Tour, he's replaying some of his top podcasts. He's also asking you to check in with your thoughts on the celebration of his 200th Episode.d Kale, M.Div., 1963  professional kayaker, was a student at Yale Divinity School in 1961 when a generous professor funded is participation in a Freedom Ride to Jackson, MS. He was arrested, put in jail along with other men and women, black and white. Because the jails were full, he and the others (including the famed William Sloan Coffin), were transferred to the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. Ken met Ed while kayaking on Lake Superior - and then met at the historic Old Rittenhouse Inn in Bayfield, WI for an interview. They talked about their experience as seminarians, and then Ed's journey which includes his friendship with James Farmer (the civil rights champion who organized the Freedom Rides), Carol Ruth Silver (author and fellow Freedom Rider) and the incomparable author and philosopher James Baldwin.
