Night before FQF in New Orleans
World Footprints is pleased to introduce more great friends from our beloved New Orleans. First, we'll be joined by actor/filmmaker Terence Rosemore who most recently donned a badge as New Orleans Police Deputy Chief Eugene Marsden in the hit HBO series "Treme". Terence will discuss his upcoming roles and film projects post-Treme as well as his initiative in the Crescent City to introduce the city's youth to the entertainment industry.
If you're looking for the best places to go, eat or see the Moon Guide to New Orleans is a great resource to have. Native New Orleanian and travel writer Laura Martone joins us to give her take on what makes her hometown such an interesting and captivating place for her and visitors alike.
Finally, New Orleans is a city that never needs a reason to host a festival. Just when you think that the city wouldn't have room for one more thing, another "thing" pops up and offers something unique. For the last few years, Diane Lyons has been spearheading the FestiGals Conference. As founder of this conference, Diane sought to create an event just for women. FestiGals is an empowering weekend-long celebration of the female spirit and stength. World Footprints has a personal connection with the FestiGals conference as Tonya will be giving a "Diva Discussion" this year.

The Second Battle of New Orleans: Education at the Center
Before Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans had some of the worst schools in the nation, rapid superintendent turnover, and a human resources and financial crisis leaving over $3 million in salary and benefits being paid to deceased employees. After Katrina, the city underwent several drastic shifts with the most prominent being the decentralization of the education system and the creation of one of the largest charter school networks in country. For some, the jury is still out on how successful this round of reform has been, for others it is regarded as the saving grace for the city and still others believe it has been a complete failure.
Our guests in April are educators who have served before and after Hurricane Katrina in district and charter schools. We will learn candidly about what happened in New Orleans then and now and get a sense of what politicians, community leaders and state policy makers are still fighting about in one of our historic cultural centers.
Join us for another dynamic discussion with those on the front line in what will be known in the history books as the Second Battle of New Orleans.

We Are One: Street Music of New Orleans
Our first episode is the genesis of "We Are One: Street Music of New Orleans." This documentary chronicles the historical movement and evolution of street music in the most talented city in the world. Over the past twenty-plus years, NO has emerged as the best kept secret of a culture that grew out of concrete. Since Soundscan began electronically tracking record sales in 1991, New Orleans acts have sold in excess of 120 million records. This number is astounding in the fact that at its peak, the city only held 500,000 residents in a concentrated area. The sprawling metropolises of New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago had there own successes, but per capita, there is no comparison. Whether it has been, rap, bounce, or the unique street brass sub-culture, New Orleans has always managed to be self-sustaining due to a creative and entrepreneurial spirit of the people. Over the near future, legendary artists, producers, musicians, and industry insiders from NO will be joining us to discuss their contributions and why New Orleans owes no apology for always doing things their way.
Join Nathan T Rideaux of Urban Science Films, and guest Co-Host, Charlie Vaughn of Uptown Artwerks as we start go down the road that mainstream media has neglected. "We Are One: Street Music of New Orleans."
