Mayors from largest US cities, including LA and NYC, discuss issues facing communities at Essence Festival of CultureThe Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans is wrapping up after four days of music, fashion, food, and fun.
A meeting of the minds, as five of the nation's mayors gathered for a discussion at the Global Black Economic Forum at Essence Festival. "I am very worried about us repeating something that happened in the 90s, and that is the criminalization of Black folk.
