Μ첩ΜεΣύ-PS Statement on Former New Orleans Mayor Moon Landrieu’s Passing
(New Orleans β€� September 6, 2022) β€”Μ첩ΜεΣ� Public Schools (Μ첩ΜεΣύ-PS) is saddened by the passing of former New Orleans Mayor Moon Landrieu. Mayor Landrieu will be remembered for his great contributions to our state and city for helping integrate New Orleans public schools and breaking down racial prejudice.
As a state representative in the 1960's, he challenged efforts by the governor and segregationist supporters to thwart the integration of New Orleans public schools and repeatedly voted against segregation measures.
"Mayor Landrieu was a champion of civil rights who fought against discrimination in our schools and our city," said Μ첩ΜεΣύ-PS Superintendent Dr. Avis Williams. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. May he rest in peace".
