Will Sutton: One man feels so strongly about the Orleans millage vote he paid $2,155 cash

5 days ago | theadvocate.com | Will Sutton

You may have never heard of Danilo Augusto Feliciano, but know that he's the man who questioned the report of the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office millage two-vote victory. After celebrating Saturday night, Sunday and since, Sheriff Susan Hutson and the City of New Orleans learned that someone many didn't know thought about challenging the election tally. And he did.
Will Sutton: Orleans millage slips by to fund OPSO, with Black-White rejection, support

If ever there was an election to prove that every vote counts, it was the May 3 Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office millage election. With more than $13 million at stake, a measly 9.6% of New Orleans voters overall decided that the office responsible for keeping pretrial detainees off the streets, fed, safe and secure should keep as much as 20% of the office budget for the next 10 years.
Will Sutton: Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett will rock New Orleans at Black power event

1 week ago | nola.com | Will Sutton

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crocket has quickly built a national rock star status in the U.S. Congress as a Black woman truthteller with a silver tongue who sits or stands with comments and responses that cause some heads and shoulders to fall in despair because they don't know what to say. Crockett, a civil rights attorney, public defender and former Texas state legislator, quickly rose to national prominence as a freshman U.S. Representative.
Will Sutton: MAGA might like an African pope more than Black Catholics do

One of the world's most important elections is taking place next month, and no Louisianans will vote. With the death of Pope Francis, out of 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide, only 135 cardinals are eligible to weigh in with a secret ballot. There are no Louisiana cardinals. Hundreds of thousands bid the pope goodbye a few days ago. He was buried at St. Mary Major Basilica . A lifelong Catholic, Kathleen Bellow wasn't in attendance as the pope laid in state or as he was buried. Still, her grief is real.

Will Sutton: The expensive NOLA Walk of Fame could easily become a Walk of Shame. Here's how.

3 weeks ago | nola.com | Will Sutton

I like Percy Miller's idea of a NOLA Walk of Fame. Taking a page from the internationally famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, it could make it a must-see tourist stop in just a few years — with the right foundation. Miller, AKA Master P, has a dream, but who wants to pay for it? The first permanent Hollywood star went to director-producer Stanley Kramer in 1960. Just a few days ago , the 2,808th star was laid in honor of actress Sheryl Lee Ralph.
Will Sutton: Howard University gets top Carnegie designation. Will Southern, Xavier be next?

3 weeks ago | nola.com | Will Sutton

Howard University in Washington, D.C., became the first historically Black college or university (HBCU) to reach R1 research status in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education this year. Eight Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) were also upgraded to this same R1 status. Howard alumni, faculty and students have called the school they love The Mecca for many years. Now they have another reason to support that claim.
Will Sutton: Caleb Wilson should be my Omega brother. Anyone who hazes should not.

Louisiana will see hundreds, then thousands, of members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. as they head from their southern Louisiana homes, from parishes across the state, from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas -- the four states that make up Omega's Mighty Ninth District. There will be Omega brothers from beyond this region, too, because nearly everyone loves visiting New Orleans. The Bruhz will be headquartered at the Hyatt Regency on Loyola in New Orleans for the 88th Annual District Meeting.
Will Sutton: After a stunning defeat for Amendment 3, will lawmakers try the same thing again?

1 month ago | nola.com | Will Sutton

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and the Republican supermajority state Legislature got a whooping in last month's election as a higher-than-expected voter turnout overwhelmingly rejected four constitutional amendments on the ballot, including Amendment 3. Only 34% voted yes to strip the state constitution of specific youth crime cases in which a child could be tried as an adult. Sixty six percent voted no. The defeat was across geographic, party and race lines.
