"Over the course of a distinguished #journalistic career, #NicholasLemann has #written #books on American meritocracy (“The Big Test,” 1999), capitalism (“Transaction Man,” 2019), the black migration to the industrial North (“The Promised Land,” 1991) and the racial terrorism that plagued Reconstruction (“Redemption,” 2006).

“Returning: A Search for Home Across Three Centuries” is a more personal project. Here the #NewYorker staff #writer and emeritus dean at #ColumbiaJournalismSchool turns his lens on himself and his prosperous #Louisiana-based family of merchants, plantation owners and lawyers, embedding them in the #history of the #American #South and of #German #Jewish #immigration and #assimilation. The panoramic view and shifting of perspectives broaden the #book’s interest but detract from its focus.

The search for identity and community does give this sprawling, ruminative memoir a thematic unity."

Louisiana's warm, humid climate doesn't just attract outdoor enthusiasts — it also creates ideal conditions for ticks to thrive in nearly every corner of the state. In warm, coastal climates like Louisiana's, ticks can spread tickborne diseases all year long, so learning how to avoid them matters spring, summer, fall, and winter. That's a reality most residents learn quickly, whether they're hiking through the Kisatchie National Forest, hunting in the piney woods, or simply stepping into […]

Neighbor’s Cat in Your Yard in Louisiana: What the Law Actually Allows

A neighbor's cat wandering into your yard might seem like a minor annoyance, but it can quickly become a real problem — digging up your garden, threatening your chickens, or leaving waste on your property. If you live in Louisiana and you're wondering what the law says about it, you're not alone. Understanding your rights starts with knowing how Louisiana treats free-roaming cats differently from dogs, and why that distinction matters for what you can and cannot do. This guide walks you […]

NO KINGS Baton Rouge · Mobilize

**We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.** What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever. When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us. *A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.*
