#PlaqueminesParish, the state’s southernmost parish, juts into the water where the #MississippiRiver meets the #GulfOfMexico. The parish, which is crisscrossed with #oil & #gas canals, has already lost nearly half of its size in the last century as #SeaLevels rise because of #ClimateChange.

#Concordia’s filing says the orders interfere with local control.
In July, the #NAACP Legal Defense Fund filed a brief arguing that there is “significant evidence that vestiges of #discrimination continue to harm #Black #students” in Concordia’s #schools.

Third photo is the old Harlem Plantation House. Built 1840, on the National Register, but derelict since the Federal Flood in 2005. Good to see it hasn't totally collapsed yet, I guess. Here it is in 2009.

Interesting to see that the Plaquemines Parish Courthouse ruins look to have been stabilized and can be entered. I was last there in 2012, and it was still partly ruined and fenced off.Also I see they replaced the clock in the clocktower - was it running?
