Feel good story of the day: A Louisiana man got a spam/scam call & told the scammer to call back if he wanted help. The caller did. What happened next led to a friendship/mentorship that’s changed the lives of 3 people, stretching from LA. to Ghana, Africa.
There was a go fund me set up after our story aired. gofundme.com/f/isaacs-educa…
Adding @HowardU & @HUPrez17 for awareness about their student and his story.
Thanks to @AlexOrenczuk for tipping me off to this good news. He’s first told the story in central Louisiana on the airwaves of @kalbtv5 and then sent it to me. I watched it, loved it, and spread the good nationally on @CBSMornings. Thx Alex.

Today, I had the privilege of being present at the pardoning of Homer Plessey, the black man in New Orleans who took a stand by sitting down in a whites only train car in NOLA in 1892. The case ushered in decades of white supremacy. Plessey died a convict. Today, he is no longer.
Descendants of Plessy & Ferguson, the judge who convicted Plessey, were at the ceremony today along with a descendent of U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan who was the loan dissenting voice in Plessy versus Ferguson which led to Jim Crow laws. cbsnews.com/news/louisiana…
The ceremony happened at the NOLA station where Homer Plessy boarded a whites only car in 1892. It was a set up. The citizens committee in New Orleans had plotted with Plessy & even the train company to stage this sit in as an act of civil disobedience.

CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation from 10 days for people with COVID-19 to 5 days, if asymptomatic, followed by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others. cdc.gov/media/releases…
“Therefore, people who test positive should isolate for 5 days and, if asymptomatic at that time, they may leave isolation if they can continue to mask for 5 days to minimize the risk of infecting others.”

cdc.gov/media/releases…
“For people who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second mRNA dose (or more than 2 months after the J&J vaccine) & not yet boosted, CDC now recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days.” cdc.gov/media/releases…

USA Today’s report ‘Uncounted: Inaccurate death certificates across the country hide the true toll of COVID-19’ questions the work of the Lafayette parish coroner, Dr. Ken Odinet, & his staff. Dr. Odinet’s wife Michelle Odinet has been in the news lately.
usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
“In Lafayette Parish, COVID-19 was listed as the underlying cause of death in just 134 fatalities in 2020, even though there were 419 “excess deaths” – the number of deaths that exceed a normal, pre-pandemic year…” usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
“…The gap between these two numbers means hundreds more people likely died of COVID, researchers say.”usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
