Last Friday, a dive boat rescued two kids in the channel directly off Ala Moana Bowls on Oahu’s South Shore. The kids had been spearfishing, and had tangled with a tiger shark later estimated by the boat’s captain as between eight and 12 feet in length. Fortunately, nobody was hurt — but in the wake of that and a number of other encounters this year, including the tragic death of North Shore legend Tamayo Perry, it’s very much worth asking: What’s going on? Matt Rode takes a look at the facts:

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.
