591. Part 2 of our conversation with Quentin Anthony Anderson, a Democratic Candidate for Louisiana Congressional District 6. "As the Executive Chairman of The Justice Alliance, a Baton Rouge-based social justice nonprofit, and the founder & Creative Director of Anderson Creative, Quentin embodies a lifelong commitment to fostering equity and empowerment.... A proud alumnus of McKinley Senior High School in Baton Rouge, Quentin earned his undergraduate degree at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana and he received his law degree from LSU, punctuated by a pivotal year in 2007 when he joined then-Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. This experience - starting as an unpaid intern and culminating as a field organizer in Missouri - solidified his path in political activism and community organizing. His commitment extended into his law school years, where he taught legal studies courses at schools like Capitol High as a volunteer instructor through the Street Law program and served the unhoused community through legal aid work at the Capital Area Alliance for the Homeless in Baton Rouge" (Anderson2024).

3. This week in New Orleans history. September 14, 2009. New Orleans Master Plan Regarding Claiborne Avenue Overpass. Supporters for the removal of the I-10 Claiborne overpass and rerouting I-10 to the I-610 corridor cite the structure's need for costly repairs and damage it has caused to cause what was a thriving urban neighborhood. Opponents argue that the overpass' removal would cause great inconvenience to the residents of New Orleans East and potentially require unwanted and intrusive expansion of the I-610 corridor. A September 14th, 2009 draft of the New Orleans Master Plan called for a study and eventual removal of the overpass.
