An amazing view w/ @kedc_epic as we continue to learn about the history & culture of New Orleans. Appreciate the hard work the people of @Oak_Alley plantation do to preserve the history of the home, its many owners, & the enslaved who once lived there. @DrJWEvansJr @KEDCGrants

Enjoying the @kedc_epic teacher immersion trip to New Orleans to learn more about history, culture...and wildlife of this region. Also, we have lifejackets if we sink...but I'm not bothering. Will just swim like my life depends on it for that bank. @DrJWEvansJr @KEDCGrants
