591. Part 2 of our conversation with Quentin Anthony Anderson, a Democratic Candidate for Louisiana Congressional 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).

  6. Orleans Master Plan Regarding Claiborne Avenue Overpass.
    Supporters for the removal of the I-10 Claiborne overpass and
    rerouting I-10 to the I-610 corridor cite the structure's need
    for costly repairs and damage it has caused to cause what was
    a thriving urban neighborhood. Opponents argue that the
    overpass' removal would cause great inconvenience to the
    residents of New Orleans East and potentially require unwanted
    and intrusive expansion of the I-610 corridor. A September
    14th, 2009 draft of the New Orleans Master Plan called for a
    study and eventual removal of the overpass.
