A woman's fight for freedom in 1840s New Orleans challenged the very foundations of American slavery and racial identity, creating a legal precedent that terrified slaveholders throughout the South.

Louisiana's NBA Team, The New Orleans Pelicans, is a popular team that features an equally popular annual event that pits baby competitors against one another.

It was an exciting weekend at Evangeline Downs—if you were lucky enough to make it there.

At first, I thought maybe the jogger startled the woman walking, causing the violent reaction. Then I listened to the audio: this is clearly a hate crime.

O'Meara was supported by what looked like dozens of (mostly) mask-wearing police officers.

It would have taken the same amount of time and effort to produce fliers showing missing children, but these people want to concentrate on hate.

Professional cycling really don’t impress us much. These guys have been chemically and physically engineered from birth to become pedal monsters and ride biked made by NASA engineers that could withstand the wind resistance produced by a nuclear holocaust.

I can still remember sitting in the Superdome last season when the New Orleans Saints hosted the Carolina Panthers. The Saints won the game, and luckily the seats I had gave me a front row view of the Saints sideline.  October 3, 2010 was also the first day I noticed a guy named Jimmy Graham.
