New Orleans, Louisiana – 24 October 2019

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Mitch Landrieu, Former New Orleans Mayor:
"The bulk of my work has been very quietly traveling around to 13 states and 28 communities, talking to 800  people."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Mitch Landrieu, Former New Orleans Mayor:
"You have many, many white people that once they understand the intentional mis-design, they go, oh, we can – we can fix school districts. We want to change that. The unanimous jury verdict, some say no way. But if you say, you know, a white kid that gets arrested for marijuana is six times less likely to serve jail time as a black kid, you know, if they don't know any African American kids. But if he's the kid that lives next door and they go, well, that's not fair."
5. Pan down to "Divided by Design" report on table
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Mitch Landrieu, Former New Orleans Mayor:
"It's clear that we don't know how to talk about this. It's an uneasy conversation. We've never really had a good conversation about it. We usually yelling at each other. If there's move- movement forward, there's always movement back. Sometimes this manifests politically. But I think people in the South generally love the South. They're people of faith. They're people of people. They want to really do well. But I think the African-American community justly feels like the institutions, education, healthcare, infrastructure of government, the business community, that there are designs that have kind of been against them and that they haven't been able to build the same kind of institutional wealth that even middle class or poor white families have been able to. And there's a lot of evidence that they're correct. I don't think that they necessarily want a whole lot. They want – they want the country to acknowledge it. There has been a historical wrong, which clearly there has been. And to start talking about how we actually have an intention to go forward together, that we're not going to continue to intend to be separate. And I think that the way you do that is for people to get to know each other. And there's a lot of evidence that a younger generation understands this better than some of us old folk."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Mitch Landrieu, Former New Orleans Mayor:
"I just come away with if you work it and you teach it the right way. You've got a much better chance of getting to the other side. And we have got to get to the other side, or this country is never, ever going to hit that mark. You know, that we think about every day of being a more perfect union or being a really rich in diversity, that we're a nation of immigrants, that we work better together. Those are talking points and sometimes they're true, lots of times they're not. We're in a lot of times they're not moment. If we want to get to the other side, we've got to want to go."

STORYLINE:
More than two years after he oversaw the elimination of four Jim Crow-era monuments from the New Orleans landscape, former Mayor Mitch Landrieu is again tackling the stubborn legacy of slavery, segregation and racism in his native south.
On Friday, Landrieu released "Divided by Design," a 90-page report based on surveys and interviews with people in 28 communities in 13 Southern states.
The report describes conflicting views on racism among African Americans, Latinos and whites. It celebrates efforts to bridge racial gaps but says segregation and inequality remain major barriers.
When Landrieu was mayor, he removed four Jim Crow-era monuments from the New Orleans landscape, including statues of three Confederate icons.
This report is the first project of the E Pluribus Unum Fund, which Landrieu launched after leaving office in May 2018. It calls for cultivating courageous leaders who can build common ground.
Hopeful in some ways, the report notes initiatives by some big city mayors to promote diversity and equity in affordable housing and economic development efforts _ and to openly discuss race and class barriers to advancement.
It cites statistics indicating that the continued "de facto" segregation of communities and interviews demonstrating the chasms between the views of many black and white people.
Meanwhile, some white respondents expressed fear that gains among black people will come at their expense.
According to the report, "when discussing the nation's racial history, many white respondents flatly rejected the idea that we should spend any more time or effort discussing it."
