I just wanted to say that I have been an admirer of you two ever since I went to live in New Orleans as Teach For America teacher in 2009. Melissa spoke along with Tavis Smiley at a Freedom Schools event in Knoxville, TN that I was very proud to have seen and been a part of. Congratulations on her new MSNBC show as well. This posting was very alerting to me. It is still crazy to me that gun violence is so much a part of New Orleans, and yet so disregarded. I remember my first week in New Orleans hearing of a teacher who had been shot at a football game. I am inspired when I hear you and Melissa bring these and other silenced issues to light. New Orleans is in my thoughts and prayers. Mali Irvin Sarah Lawrence College '08. Dear James and Melissa,

Happy New Year! I just wanted to say that I have been an admirer of you two ever since I went to live in New Orleans as Teach For America teacher in 2009. Melissa spoke along with Tavis Smiley at a Freedom Schools event in Knoxville, TN that I was very proud to have seen and been a part of. Congratulations on her new MSNBC show as well. This posting was very alerting to me. It is still crazy to me that gun violence is so much a part of New Orleans, and yet so disregarded. I remember my first week in New Orleans hearing of a teacher who had been shot at a football game. I am inspired when I hear you and Melissa bring these and other silenced issues to light. New Orleans is in my thoughts and prayers.

I feel safer in my city Atlanta. I am sorry you lost election. If Ray and you are outspoken it appears the powers to be try to shut you down. I don't know answer. You and wife in my prayers keep society honest. I have loved to visit your city but after katrenia I haven’t visited. I feel safer in my city Atlanta. I am sorry you lost election.
