In this 60 Minutes segment about confederate monuments, Mitchell Joseph Landrieu mayor of New Orleans since 2010, helped educate me about our Nation's ever-evolving society, as well as offering info about a population of apparent slow-to-evolve fellow American citizens continuing to embrace hateful, ignorant human beliefs that in my opinion are demeaning to human intellect.
Frankly, I became sad learning Mayor Landrieu was forced to look outside his state to find a crane company willing to remove the "feel good" confederate monuments.
AND, I became ANGRY learning crane company employees removing the monuments, were forced to don bullet resistance clothing after being issued death threats. :disgusting:

However, Mayor Landrieu buoyed my spirits simply by demonstrating he is a reasonably intelligent, empathetic fellow American citizen genuinely concerned about improving the Quality of Life for our American friends, neighbors and co-workers.

In her own way, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, M.D., pediatrician and CEO of 'The Center for Youth Wellness' joins the late American urban story-TRUTH-teller Tupac Shakur in PASSIONATELY speaking about the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (#ACEs), aka *Childhood Trauma*, and later-life health and well being.
Sadly, Tupac LOUDLY and consistently revealed to his fans and admirers, THROUGH NO FAULT OF HIS OWN, he was a 'Childhood Trauma' (#ACEs) victim who matured into an admitted depressed, suic!dal thinking teen and adult speaking about harming his peaceful neighbors to acquire cash needed to feed his neglected, hungry, "hurting" belly...yet NO ONE listened!
