Mitch Landrieu

Mitch Landrieu is a politician, attorney, author, nonprofit leader and staunch advocate for racial equity. He served as the 61st mayor of New Orleans from 2010 to 2018 and as Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana from 2004 to 2010. As mayor, he helped tackle some of the toughest problems his city faced; he developed lasting criminal justice reforms, created jobs, and awarded nearly half of all city contracts to firms owned by women and people of color. In 2017, he rose to national prominence over his decision to pull down four Confederate monuments across New Orleans. The following spring, he published the best-selling memoir, In the Shadow of Statues: A White Southerner Confronts History, both a personal story about his own journey around race and a call to action for white Americans, in particular, to confront the truth of America’s past. Later that year, Mitch launched E Pluribus Unum Fund, a nonprofit organization that aims to build an equitable and inclusive South through empowering leaders in racial equity, dismantling the narratives that perpetuate racism, and promoting transformative policy change. We can't heal the past we all carry, he says, “unless we set our minds to an honest reckoning with that past and a search for solutions grounded in genuine truth and justice.” We’re so excited for you to hear this conversation with Mitch Landrieu!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5327510/advertisement
