On August 30th, the New Orleans Insitute will host a New Orleans Speaks Symposium at UNO. Among many notable others, Karen Gadbois will be speaking in the afternoon about her work with Squandered Heritage, Latoya Cantrell of the Broadmoor Improvement Association will moderate a morning roundtable and Pam Deshiell of the Holy Cross neighborhood association will also speak in the afternoon. [SCHEDULE]
What interests and heartens me about the institute is how many individuals and organizations it has been able to bring together, and that one of its main interests is taking the message beyond New Orleans for help and to help.
