it's the cusp of french louisiana, english louisiana, spanish louisiana. it's sort of -- population of about 80,000. traditionally, it was a blue-collar town. it started out as a cowboy town, then through the lumbering industry, through petrochemical and railroad, through what we find now, which is a wonderful mixed economy that includes a fair amount of gaming and recreation as well as blue collar. >> should we see? adley: let's see it. this corner of louisiana was the no man's land. it wasn't part of the louisiana purchase, and so for 50-60 years, this no man's land served as a buffer between the united states and the empire of spain. that meant that this was an area that had quite a bit of use as a refuge for scoundrels and pirates. that is where the stories of john the feet common. he knew most of the early settlers in lake charles. >> what year are we talking? 1800s,late 1700s, early 1803 to 1820. that is the period of john lafitte. all the trade -- he was responsible for about 25% of all the trade in the lower mississippi valley through his black mar

so here in louisiana, the prison was opened in the 1830s and louisiana was one of the first places to privatize its beneficiary in 1845. it was in baton rouge was opened to but to give some context about the opening this is a time where there were none in the south, the idea was still new and it started in the northeast they were invented here in the united states and the south was recessed into the idea of penitentiary areas. partially because they were associated with abolitionists because slavery abolitionists tended to be deaf row and it was a reform, the idea was instead of executing somebody for theft, you sentence him to seven years in prison. the penitentiary was kind of a threat to the white supremacist ideology of the south because the norm of the penitentiary areas that exist in the north is when somebody went to prison they were forced to labor from dawn to dusk and if the south had opened the penitentiary areas, the people who went to them would most likely be white because african-americans a afre time were mostly slaves and were punished on the plantations and white peo

they saw louisiana was in a weak time and they tried to capitalize by attacking louisiana. so do you see, and maybe the rest of the panel see, that the environment and cyber defense go hand in hand? because if these hackers are capitalizing on hurricanes, then does that also mean that these cyber defense also comes with protecting the environment? >> yeah. i think you're exactly right. i think -- i know what florida's going through. i know that right now the infrastructure is pretty much torn apart in mexico beach, florida, so right now with the power down, i'm assuming most of the internet is down, so i don't see that as a threat in the foreseeable future for them even as they try to restore power. but it could complicate matters where you're looking at lines of communication to get critical resources in and you don't have the ability to use a phone or use a computer, the network doesn't work, and all of a sudden you still have to deal with a cyber security stiincide because they're not letting you get your network up to be able to provide resources, to get the community s

i come from the state of louisiana.in the country especially for women. just last week, the state of louisiana, the fifth circuit court of appeals overturned the supreme court decision about admitting privileges, meaning that women are not going to be able to have the full access to health care very soon. this has repercussions now. and i must say also, though, that louisiana is a state of wonder that i am very proud of. it is a generative place where things grow in the lush bayou, where people come together in diverse traditions and cultures, especially in my adopted hometown of new orleans, louisiana. and where the reproductive justice movement led by women of color is strong and fierce and beautiful. and i will tell you this, it is full of holy love and it is full of holy rage. and let me tell you what i mean by holy rage. i do not mean the rage that allows men and other people to assault women and other individuals using their power in cruel and horrific ways and not be accountable for it. holy rage is using our god

of the best examples of a place where people are chronically exposed to chemical pollution is in louisiana between baton rouge and new orleans along the mississippi where there's one hundred fifty industrial facilities all along that corridor. in fact the industry calls it the chemical corridor residents they have a different name for it or they call it cancer alley. in many communities especially here in louisiana you can look out of your bedroom window and you're looking at a smokestack and you smell the toxic fumes on a daily basis we have lost historic african-american communities because of the toxic exposures from those companies warranting the relocation of those communities and the entire towns of these historic communities have been raised and only thing you now see if there's any found that they once existed might be their own cemetery grounds while the facilities have gotten larger and expanded into those historic communities that once lived and thrived in this area. there's a culture in the state that really gives the industrial corporations running these facilities a blank che
