Representing a broad cross-section of New Orleans’

White Bitch). The chorus will be backed by a four-piece band led by Marc Stone (Marc Stone Band, Rockin' Dopsie) on guitar and featuring Keith Hajjar (Egg Yolk Jubilee, TNOBS) on drums. Please join us for this very special morning program
featuring an emphasis on traditional Southern spiritual music on Sunday, November 6 at 11:00am.
Also present for these very special proceedings will be
representatives from the Gulf Restoration Network. Gulf Restoration Network is the only environmental advocacy group
with an exclusive focus on the Gulf of Mexico. For 17 years GRN has
worked to unite and empower people to protect and restore the health of the
Gulf region for future generations. In the wake of last year's BP
drilling disaster, GRN has been dedicated to exposing the impacts of the
disaster, holding BP and the government accountable, and ensuring that the
lessons of the disaster are learned and acted upon. Currently, GRN is
leading an initiative to allocate BP's Clean Water Act fines to restore the
coastal wetlands of the Mississippi River delta which are turning into open
water at the rate of a football field every hour, threatening the ecosystem we
rely on for our fisheries and our natural storm defenses.
