MAYOR CANTRELL ISSUES STATEMENT ON PASSING OF FORMER MAYOR MOON LANDRIEU

NEW ORLEANS — Mayor LaToya Cantrell today issued the following statement on the passing of Moon Landrieu:

 

"The City of New Orleans mourns the passing of our former mayor Moon Landrieu. A civil rights trailblazer and dedicated public servant, Landrieu's urban policy vision helped shape this City, and the racial coalitions he built in the face of division continues to inspire generations.

 

As intertwined with the City of New Orleans as anyone in her beloved history, Moon Landrieu has earned our most deepest gratitude, and we are comforted in the notion that his legacy will continue to live on. We are keeping the Landrieu family in our prayers."
