This week on Behind The Lens, the Port of New Orleans announced a plan to revitalize the Alabo Street Wharf in the Lower 9th Ward, approving a new terminal for organic grain imported from Eastern Europe, but residents’ thoughts on the project are decidedly mixed.
And amidst a flurry of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, the Louisiana Attorney General joined several other red states in a suit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, arguing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is unconstitutional. If the suit is successful it could upend school and workplace protections for people with a wide range of disabilities.
Our guests this week are Lens reporters Delaney Dryfoos and Marta Jewson.
