Twenty-one years later, we remember. 💙

We remember the lives lost, the families displaced, and the communities forever changed by Hurricane Katrina. We remember the failures that deepened the devastation—and the people who refused to let New Orleans and the Gulf Coast be forgotten.

But remembrance must also move us to action.

We organize for communities that are safe, prepared, protected, and heard. We advocate for equitable recovery and investment. And we build power so that the people most impacted have a voice in the decisions shaping their communities.

21 years later, we remember. We organize. We build POWER.

The Power Coalition for Equity and justice mourns the passing of Jerome “Big Duck” Smith, a Freedom Rider, civil rights leader, organizer, mentor, and beloved son of New Orleans.

Big Duck was part of a generation that put themselves on the line to challenge segregation and demand something better for Black people in Louisiana and across the South. But what made his life so powerful was that he never stopped doing the work.

He continued to organize, teach, mentor, and pour into his community long after the marches and Freedom Rides.

Big Duck spent decades pouring into New Orleans young people, including through Tamborine & Fan, the youth organization he founded to teach Black history, culture, and community responsibility. He understood that young people needed to know where they came from, but also that they had a role in shaping what came next.
