Zoo's concerns about reaction when giraffe died
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorA funeral home in Amite City has been serving as a repository for Black history in a broad part of Tangipahoa Parish. James Finn takes a look at how the mortuary provides a look at Black life over the decades. Members of the East Baton Rouge Parish Planning Commission will meet tonight to look at a number of proposed projects. Debates around development in the floodplain began after the region experienced severe flooding in mid May that damaged more than 1,000 homes in the parish. Paul Cobler explains. And Wilson Alexander breaks down key moments from LSU's victory over Central Michigan. The Tigers open Southeastern Conference play this weekend against Mississippi State. Thanks for starting the week with us. |
