590. Part 1 of our conversation with Quentin Anthony Anderson, Candidate for District 6. "As the Executive Chairman of The
Justice Alliance, a Baton Rouge-based social justice nonprofit,
and the founder & Creative Director of Anderson Creative,
Quentin embodies a lifelong commitment to fostering equity and
empowerment.... A proud alumnus of McKinley Senior High School
in Baton Rouge, Quentin earned his undergraduate degree at
Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana and he received
his law degree from LSU, punctuated by a pivotal year in 2007
when he joined then-Senator Barack Obama’s presidential
campaign. This experience - starting as an unpaid intern and
culminating as a field organizer in Missouri - solidified his
path in political activism and community organizing. His
commitment extended into his law school years, where he taught
legal studies courses at schools like Capitol High as a
volunteer instructor through the Street Law program and served
the unhoused community through legal aid work at the Capital
Area Alliance for the Homeless in Baton Rouge" (Anderson2024).
