Memo to Kavanaugh's defenders: Passage of time doesn't erase youthful mistakes in the criminal justice system, especially for people of color

Young people of color are disproportionately affected by the lifelong consequences of having a criminal record.
"The Natural Inheritance..."
"Everyone who has reached even their intellectual teens begins to suspect that life is no farce; that it is not genteel comedy even; that it flowers and fructifies on the contrary out of the profoundest tragic depths of the essential dearth in which its subject's roots are plunged. The natural inheritance of everyone who is capable of spiritual life is an unsubdued forest where the wolf howls and the obscene bird of night chatters." - Henry James Sr.

The oldest Native American dugout canoe ever found in Louisiana
A long, long time ago, someone in southern Louisiana, or perhaps several people, cut down a cypress tree and made a boat. Well, not a “boat” per se, but a dugout canoe. It wasn’t an Acadian, ousted from their home in Nova Scotia, who fashioned it; nor was it a living member of the many Native Americans living in the swamps and bayous when the Cajuns arrived. But it was one of their ancestors. Just south of Donaldsonville, Louisiana in Belle River, Jamie Ponville owns a dirt-fill business that he excavates from a very large and deep site. Last October, the excavator’s bucket struck ... more »

Federal Funding Provides Incentives for States to Take Children Away from Families Even When No Abuse is Present
When Child Protective Services (CPS) takes children from a loving, non-abusive family, the parents, and sometimes grandparents, aunts, and uncles, often seek out information about what is happening.
