The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

A developing tropical disturbance in the Caribbean is showing increasing potential to enter the eastern Gulf of Mexico, intensify, and impact areas along the Gulf Coast, likely between Florida and Louisiana. If the system gains a name, it will be designated Tropical Storm Debby.
