Stop the Violence March
Today, after teaching my first two courses of the new semester, I bicycled down to City Hall to join thousands of other New Orleanians in a rally to show city officials that we're demanding changes.

Thankfully, I arrived just in time to hear Bart Everson give a speech. He did a great job.
