Ponchartrain Park neighborhood, where I grew up in New Orleans, holds a special place in my heart. I was honored to be the keynote speaker at this year's Ponchartrain Park Holiday Gala. I saw many familar faces and heard stories that took us way back.

Looking forward to attending this meet & greet with the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce. It's an opportunity for residents to network and meet government officials. Opportunities like this are meaningful and I'm honored to be a part of it.
Register now and see you there!

It’s a basic that Dutch Morial understood — retail politics involves *showing up* and listening and talking to people. I remember Dutch sitting on the floor in my living room, just talking with a small group of ppl. Every single one voted for him.

He didn’t just win a seat — he shifted a city.
In 1977, Ernest “Dutch” Morial made history as New Orleans’ first Black mayor — a moment that turned hope into action and representation into real power.

Marc Morial, Nat Urban League Pres and CEO, summed it up nicely when asked what Dems need to do. He shared they need to be assertive, vocal, committed and draft principled policies. Cannot argue these. Can we do this, Democratic elected women, esp the assertive piece?

My favorite line from Netflix's "Katrina: Come Hell and High Water," and there were many I jotted down, is when New Orleans Mayor Marc H. Morial told the biggest truth the GOP wants to kill: "No society in the history of humankind ever failed because they invested too much in their kids."

Thank you. We can’t stay silent in the face of harmful ideologies. The Sisters of Charity showed real courage, and I stand with them.
Bravo, Marc Morial of National Urban League for speaking truth to power abt Dolan’s appalling judgment & highlighting courage of Sisters of Charity of NY for condemning him in unequivocal terms for embracing racist ideology at odds w/teaching of Catholic Church.

I want to have a petition circulated around the entire country. We need a new set of documents, this current set didnt work like it should have. We allowed things to go off the rails long ago and snow balled from there. How can we get this going. I have my ideas, others have ideas. Let collaborate
