Katie Couric Instagram – Bourbon Street reopened yesterday afternoon, nearly 36 hours after the horrific New Year’s Day attack that claimed 14 lives and left dozens injured.
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, joined by local law enforcement and clergy, led a “peace walk” down the historic street. The group paused to pray and honor the victims of the tragedy. At the end of the walk, New Orleans musician Glen David Andrews performed soulful tunes, accompanied by a brass band.
Rap legend and city entertainment ambassador, Master P, also stood with Mayor Cantrell, offering a message of hope for the city’s recovery. “One thing about New Orleans is, in the spirit of New Orleans, we bounce back from anything,” he said. “And the resilience is going to bring us back.”
Makeshift memorials adorned Bourbon Street, with Mardi Gras beads and yellow roses left in tribute. A woman was seen walking through the street, carrying sage in a symbolic gesture. 📷: Getty | Posted on 03/Jan/2025 20:51:20
