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.

In an effort to target traditional Republican voters who are not part of the MAGA movement, the Harris campaign has announced the “Republicans For Harris” movement. The group has secured key endorsements from some high ranking republicans with a notable array of former Trump White House officials, including Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye. The group also includes former Secretaries Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood, as well as former Governors Jim Edgar, Bill Weld, and Christine Todd Whitman. Additionally, it boasts support from former U.S. House members such as Rod Chandler, Tom Coleman, Dave Emery, Wayne Gilchrest, Jim Greenwood, Adam Kinzinger, John LeBoutillier, Susan Molinari, Jack Quinn, Denver Riggleman, Claudine Schneider, Christopher Shays, Peter Smith, Alan Steelman, David Trott, and Joe Walsh. Former GOP State Chair and State Senator Chris Vance is also among the endorsers, along with many others.
