Will Sutton: Is L.B. Landry the next historic New Orleans school on chopping block? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Education in New Orleans hasnât been the same since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city â and our school system. Some were determined to see what we had pre-Katrina return. Some feared that what existed could never return. Some saw an opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to rebuild, refresh, renew. Right or wrong, that led to the nationâs first all-charter school system, an elected board in charge of buildings and curriculum and charter management organizations in charge of studentsâ e
Will Sutton: L.B. Landry High might close, but tonight isn’t the time to fight about it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
L.B. Landry High School has a long history. The thought, the possibility, of its closure lit a fire. U.S. Rep. Troy Carter was one of the first to express concern and set off an alarm. âWe must act now to save L. B. Landry High School,â the congressman wrote in a statement. âI grew up in Algiers, and my mother graduated from Landry in the early 1950s,â he added.

Read excerpt
On the Fourth of July weekend, Nolan Wells went missing about 10 miles off the Mississippi coast on Horn Island, a popular remote barrier island where young folks gather for a good time. His body was found in the water days later. By that Monday, as many people returned from three-day weekends to surf the web while working, the story went viral. Rumors, speculation and tidbits of information presented as facts were spewed as lots of us â especially parents, moms and Black people â searched f
Will Sutton: As we ponder New Orleans without the Essence Festival, consider lip-smacking Philadelphia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Imagine an acorn of a festival idea with $100 and a few neighbors who wanted an African-inspired block party. Imagine a few more dollars and a few more neighbors and friends joining the next year. Imagine that acorn cracking, growing shoots and saplings and becoming a tall oak tree. Imagine that thin, tall tree becoming a mighty oak. You might think that Iâm talking about the Essence Festival of Culture, but Iâm not. Philadelphiaâs Odunde Festival is much older than the festival we welcome
