Yesterday, former New Orleans lawyer, politician, and civil rights advocate Moon Landrieu passed away at 92. Landreiu, who served as a city councilman and mayor of the city from nineteen seventy to seventy eight, is remembered for nurturing cross-cultural connections and championing integration.  Today, we listen back to his reflections on removing the Confederate flag from city council chambers, and hear what inspired him to run for mayor. This weekend, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities will celebrate the opening of The Helis Foundation John Scott Center.
