New Orleans East is a mess in part because of deliberate decision making by Ray Nagin and other city leaders in the years after Hurricane Katrina. Dr. Charles Miller from the University of New Orleans Dept of Planning and Urban Studies has the details

“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.

In 2006, the Hollywood a-lister and part-time New Orleans resident Brad Pitt unveiled a building plan whose name now reeks of irony: "Make it Right." World-class architects would build 150 world-class houses for sale to Lower Ninth Ward residents

Sarah sits down with the ultimate queen, Trixie Minx. She discusses her early years in ballet and how an ankle injury led her to her destined path of burlesque. Post Katrina, Trixie recalls trying on tassels in a hotel bathroom in Mississippi and coming back to Nola for her first show. Trixie tells the story of the dancer who needed silver panties but ended up using crusty, floor panties, and she relives the worst date she's ever been on. Since covid, Trixie has had to adapt with her shows and deal with internet trolls who don't like her masking rules. It's a panoramic! Don't forget “cream rises to the top,” so mind ya business and be your best self.

A few years ago Ronnie Greene told the stunning story of the police shooting and killing completely innocent families fleeing the horror of Katrina on a bridge in New Orleans. Two innocent people died. Several others severely injured. The police claimed to have been shot at first and sought attempted murder charges against some, but the charges did not hold. What eventually emerged was a stunning misjudgment by the police and a sloppy but stunning attempt to cover it up. Despite the brazenness of the conduct by police and their actions, this incident has not drawn near the scrutiny of many other officer involved shootings. Everyday Injustice talks with Greene, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter, about his amazing account, what happened and why.

Post Katrina, it was football and a Super Bowl that helped revive the city and it was the highlight of his life  for a quarterback who thought that his career might be over.   An amazing story from one of America's great stars.  

Ashley takes Jess through the deeply troubling case of Henry Glover, a black man who disappeared days after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans in 2005. His remains would eventually turn up in the backseat of a burned car sitting on the levee along the Mississippi River. Even after DNA testing identified the remains as those of Henry Glover, the “case” continued to go uninvestigated by the New Orleans Police Department, but then some investigative journalists starting digging on their own…If you have story requests reach out to us at StudyingScarletPodcast@gmail.com-----------Our Links:Facebook link - StudyingScarletPodcastTwitter - StudyScarletPodInstagram - StudyingScarletPodcastTeepublic - StudyingScarlet

FREE Resource: 10 Steps to Get You on the Right Path Towards Leading Equity About Daniella Ann Cook, Ph.D. Daniella Ann Cook is an Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina. Drawing on her experiences as a high school social studies teacher and community organizer, her research and scholarship address three intersecting themes: (1) Historical and contemporary narratives of black educators,(2) public policy with a focus on community engagement and (3) identifying factors that support student access to rigorous curricula across diverse schooling contexts. These three areas reflect her commitment to the democratic project of sustaining racially just and equitable schooling for communities traditionally underserved by public education. Most notably, she conducted an ethnographic study of black educators in New Orleans post-Katrina during the single largest displacement of African American educators since desegregation.  She has shared her scholarship broadly and currently serves as an Associate Editor for The Urban Review.

Rob Marinko continues to fill in for BUD (He'll be back Monday). Rob, Alan, Michael and Melissa discuss the Shutdown. The Democrats blocked another attempt at reopening the Govt. And, let's tax those who've earned more than 50 Million. Plus, FL Elections Sec canned because of old picture of him in Blackface.

Dr. Scott Cowen is the personification of a proven crisis leader.  When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, Scott was just six years into his tenure of 16 years at Tulane. Katrina’s devastation was massive – over $650 million in damages to the University alone. There was no playbook for what needed to happen – up to this point, no university had encountered such devastation – and the decisions that need to be made were made at the moment as all critical crisis management is done. Scott made the decision to stay on campus and ride out the storm. In the aftermath, there were no telecommunications, no phones, no TVs – all you knew was what you could see in the local area. And it was bad. He was eventually evacuated via helicopter from on the Mississippi River, six days following the storm.  He didn’t realize the breadth of the destruction until he arrived in Houston.  That evening, after seeing the destruction on television, his reaction was, “I don’t know what I can do.  There is no one that I can call to give me guidance, there is no book I can take out of the library, there is no consultant that I can hire. I don’t know how I’m going to do it.”  The University was shuttered for the entire fall term and didn’t reopen until spring.  But it came back stronger than it ever was. Scott’s first actions were making a list of everything that needed to be done to rebuild the institution, minute by minute, day by day. Once they got the leadership team located in Houston, they operated the university out of a hotel suite. The leadership that he learned while in the Army as an infantry officer was critical. It was not shared governance, it was command-and-control.  That didn’t mean that he didn’t consult others – he had a team of people around him who he consulted and worked with, including faculty, but there wasn’t the time to do the usual broad consultation of stakeholder groups required under normal situations – things had to be done immediately and quickly move to the next thing. Having the right people on the team was critical – people who could move quickly and make choices and decisions in the heat of the moment.  There was (and always will always be) second-guessing, especially in the press, but decisions regardless of the challenges must be made based on the best information at the time and executed upon.  Scott stated that in a crisis, you’re doing two things simultaneously.  First, you’re trying to survive, and second, recovering which requires transformation.  Somewhere in there, you have to do put together a transformation plan to take you to that next level, and that takes a team. Scott had a group of five former presidents that advised him on the transformation plan and its implementation. In a transformation, start with defining the objectives and what success looks like.  For Tulane, it was three things: being financially viable; doing the things to maintain the quality, stature, and reputation of the institution; and discontinuing those things that don’t contribute to being an outstanding institution.  Scott stated that it wasn’t his doctoral degree or academic education that prepared Scott to be a leader, but the experiences in the military and that of an athlete that gave him the drive and skill set to be successful. The lessons he gained in the military, stayed with him his entire life. There are three key things to leading in a crisis.  The first of these is leadership, and especially the ability to make a decision without having all the facts (which is impossible) but relying on experience.  The second is having an advisory team who can help you talk through the decisions that need to be made.  The last of these is having a plan to execute on.  It is critical for a leader to understand what the situation, the reality of what is going on in a crisis. Having good information is critical, because, without good information, all the decisions that you make will be wrong. In a crisis, hope is never a good strategy. Transformation is all about rebuilding and making something better, and that is what Scott and his team set out to do. Transformation should always have as a component reimaging, creating something that is better, a reinvention.  At a time of crisis, you have the opportunity to rethink the future.  This can be done with the right leadership. Your best leaders (1) understand reality; (2) are resilient / have high emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills that allow them to make principled decisions based on the facts at hand; and (3) are adaptable and can react to various conditions.  One of the key things that universities fail to do is develop good leaders.  It’s not in the majority of curricula, nor is leadership development required throughout an institution.  The reasons given for this are that “leaders are born,” or that leadership is “too squishy” to be in curricula.  We know good leadership when we see it, and we know bad leadership even more quickly, and the consequences are severe. Scott stated that the inclusion of a public service requirement into all undergraduate curricula was the most transformative action that he took coming out of Katrina, and it connected them more closely with community, but more importantly, it changed the student demographics of those came here – many students stated they wanted to go to Tulane because they wanted to be part of the greatest recovery that ever happened in the history of the United States. This had a very positive effect on the type of student that they got at Tulane, and improved recruitment, retention, and graduation rates.  (Outside of the military academies, Tulane is the only research university in the United States that integrates a public service requirement into its core curricula.) The lessons of service that he gained in the military, stayed with him his entire life. Three takeaways from his book Winnebagos on Wednesdays.  First, there is a lot of innovation going on in higher Ed right now.  It’s not really known because it’s going on at smaller colleges that are not “name brands,” but it’s happening, and it’s beginning to spread. Second, despite all the criticism of higher ed right now, the return on investment is as high today as it was years ago. Lastly, we need to rethink how we can increase social mobility in higher ed.  Key takeaways from the interview: There is an opportunity to make things better coming out the other side of a crisis. Three keys to leading in a crisis: (1) the ability to make a decision; (2) having a team who can talk through the decisions that need to be made; and (3) a plan to execute on.  Start with defining the objectives and what success looks like.  Ensure planning is meticulous and comprehensive. There are so many things that have to be done, and without planning, you miss critical things Make lists of the various tasks you need to accomplish and update them as frequently as needed. This is your “project plan,” your guide to what has to be done. Understand the reality of the situation. Having good information is critical, because, without good information, all the decisions that you make will be wrong. Hope should never be a change strategy. Crisis leadership is command-and-control, not shared governance. There isn’t the time to debate the course of action. You never have all the information and you can’t wait for it. Make your decision as best you can and move on to the next one. There will always be critics, but you have to do what you think is the right thing. The inclusion of a service component in curricula can change student demographics for the better and can have a positive effect on recruitment, retention, and graduation rates. Shared governance does not mean shared decision-making. Shared governance is advisory, but the buck stops with the president and the board of an institution. There is a lot of innovation going on in higher ed right now – it’s not really known because it’s going on at smaller colleges that are not “name brands.” Despite all the criticism of higher ed right now, the return on investment is as high today as it was years ago. We need to rethink how we can increase social mobility in higher ed.

  We shoot around the topic of big data around, but it’s hard for us to understand what that actually means. Luckily, Todd Barr helps break down not only Big Data, but also gives us a taste of the fascinating world of Geographic Information Systems, and Precision Agriculture. Using drones, tractors, or anything that scans data, Todd can gather mass amounts of data, organize it, and give hyper-targeted solutions on certain issues in the food realm. We give tons of examples of how this technology works. For example, we can fix farms really easily because we know what plots of lands need more water, and we know where to put Whole foods in which suburb because we know what type of people live there, This interview is admittedly really rocky, because I had a hard time trying to understand this! And I want to understand it so I ask a lot of questions. Todd does an amazing job breaking it down with examples on how precision agriculture can feed the world. The first half of the interview is very rough, but I want you to take note how I try and understand the technology and eventually we get to the heart of it.

Show Notes What do you do for a living?: I collect data using drones and satellites and analyze data. I color maps like a kindergartner Tractor technology: started as GPS, ended up using new technology. Post Katrina, they are self-driving and getting real-time data. People don’t realize what’s on a farm. There are automatic tractors nowadays Geospatial: is basically X Y Z data. Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Using technology and data to run spatial analytics to solve real-world problems Whole Foods and Trader Joes uses geospatial technology to plant their shops How did you get to the Big Data industry?: 20 years in Washington DC. Introduced through work and learned about it before big data was a thing. Where can you learn about Big Data?: Youtube has great videos, ESRI, Open Source, QGIS Where would you go first?: I’d join the spatial community on twitter #GIStribe and then go to youtube Can you give me an example on this technology?: We did a study on tractor accuracy so reduce how “off” they are in their path Another example: Scanning biomass of orange fields and tells you if biomass is a correlation of yield Is there any software you need?: You need to create a lake database and link it to a JSON file and you chunk it out to do the analysis. You can extract and input a row. We use cloud systems to handle the data. We use Amazon web services. What kind of skill do you need for your job?: You should know a bit about statistics but you should also learn to ask questions. Be interactive. Big Data is about volume velocity My Food Job Rocks: I make food cheaper, and I get to play with data. How do you make food cheaper?: We can scan a whole mass of data and find ways to reduce input. We can target an area that has problems and fine-tuning it. You spend less on resources. More and more farms are asking people to do this during the growing season What is Darin’s course: Darin’s course is about food security and this technology will help with solving food security. A lot of countries are now looking into this technology. Africa, for example, is getting a lot more yield with this technology. What is what you do important?: It’s going to make food cheaper because we can find pain points and reduce it. Planet Labs is taking pictures of the earth every day and the stuff gets processed in under 24 hours. Doves or small satellites. You can buy their services and get the big data. What up and coming technologies will help you in Precision Agriculture?: This technology will be cheaper. However, machine learning will improve this technology by a lot. What will AI do to your industry?: It will come up with recipes in what humans have been doing for years. So it would give you a recipe for maximum yield on a farm. When will this AI be coming?: It’s here, we need to convince people that it’s a proper ROI. Monsanto, Cargill is already implementing it. Medium-sized farms probably won’t buy it yet. How do you feel about self-driving cars?: I hate them. But I like assisted self-driving cars Other technologies: Vertical farming, Hydroponics, Stacking farms on top of each other Favorite book: Fahrenheit 451 Favorite Kitchen Item: Ipad. I can learn to cook or order from seamless. Amazon Echo Do you have any advice for anyone who wants to go to your field?: Don’t be afraid to ask questions, know statistics, don’t be afraid about a computer program. How to learn computer programming: Data camp (in browser coding). You should learn python if you want to go into Big Data. Really easy to learn Where can we find you?: Twitter (Spatial_punk). I havea blog at medium called Spatial Impressionism. Workshops: Spatial R and Spatial Squal classes at Colorado State and going to Miami and Ohio University

Bob Herbert and journalist/author Gary Rivlin talk about Hurricane Katrina's devastation of New Orleans, and how the city fares today, noting some political scandals that echo current national politics.

When we think of the big city racial crises, there s often that image of an Asian community caught in the middle of it perhaps epitomized by the Asian shopkeeper in Spike Lee s "Do the Right Thing" who, in defending his business from the same angry mob that had just burned down Sal s Pizzaria shouts "I no white I black You, me, same " Things could have been that way in New Orleans East in the days following Hurricane Katrina with Vietnamese and African American neighbors pitted against each other in competition for resources dedicated for the city s recovery, and on other issues. But instead of following that pattern, Vietnamese and African Americans forged solidarity on matters such as the speed and quality of FEMA assistance, and on the construction of the proposed landfill it was powerful, and it made a difference. Our guest this week, Dr. Eric Tang, a scholar at the University of Texas has spent time in New Orleans and written on the subject of relations between the Vietnamese Americans and their African American neighbors in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Why weren t Vietnamese and African Americans antagonistic towards each other in New Orleans as they have been during times of crises in other places We discuss that this week on VietNOLA.

Post-Katrina New Orleans: how disaster recovery became a lucrative business. Laurie Taylor talks to Vincanne Adams, US Professor of Medical Anthropology, about her account of market failure after the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. She discovered private companies profiting from the misery they sought to ameliorate and a second order disaster that intensified inequalities based on race and class. Why were residents left to re-build their lives and homes almost entirely on their own, save for the contribution of churches and charities? Phil O'Keefe, Professor of Economic Development, joins the discussion. Also, 'The Capitalist Personality' - Laurie Taylor explores interpersonal bonds in the post communist world. Christopher Swader, Assistant Professor of Sociology in Moscow, argues that successful people in countries as diverse as China and Russia adjust to the market economy at a social cost, compromising moral values in pursuit of material gain. Is anti social behaviour in new capitalist economies a by-product of their communist pasts or does the individual ambition released by economic development also have a part to play in threatening human relationships? Producer: Jayne Egerton.

Douglas Harris, associate professor of economics and University Endowed Chair in Public Education at Tulane University in New Orleans, talks about the development of the charter school system in New Orleans coming out of Hurricane Katrina. He explains some of the likely hypotheses for why New Orleans' schools might be doing better and discusses the challenges of measuring improvement in the city's schools. Intro Music is from "Stormy Blues" by Arne Bang Huseby

New Orleans is already known as a hot, moist place—ideal growing conditions for mold. Now factor in Hurricane Katrina, which hit the city in August of 2005, leaving behind even more indoor mold and other asthma-causing allergens. Host Ashley Ahearn talks with Patricia Chulada about research to study and improve post-Katrina asthma symptoms in the children of New Orleans. Visit the podcast webpage to download the full transcript of this podcast.

HBO's Treme (from the creators of The Wire) is set in the aftermath of the greatest man-made disaster in American history. Join us for a discussion of New Orleans' music and its unique culture as reflected in one of episodic television's most powerful dramas.

Like many cities that have heavily depended on a few key industries, employment and workforce development have long been a challenge for New Orleans.
