The New Orleans Tribune

The New Orleans Tribune This New Orleans Tribune is a monthly news magazine serving the New Orleans metro area and targeting Born in St. Drs.

You're not imagining things....the modern New Orleans Tribune is part of a publishing legacy that began 147 years ago, when Roudanez published the first Black daily newspaper in the United States. Then, as now, The Tribune is dedicated to social justice and civil rights for all Louisiana citizens. Like their successors, Beverly Stanton McKenna, Dr. Dwight McKenna, and Dr. S. Mark McKenna, Roudanez

broke new ground in American journalism. James parish and reared in New Orleans, Roudanez studied medicine in Paris, France, where he earned his first degree. He received a second medical degree at New Hampshire's Dartmouth College. Roudanez used his newspaper and medical practice to bridge the gap between African-Americans and the majority population. Dwight and Mark McKenna have been similarly inspirited. In fact, the McKenna's' began the modern New Orleans Tribune in 1985, in part to honor Louis Charles Roudanez' amazing journalistic legacy. So when you pick up a copy of the modern New Orleans Tribune, you are not only picking up one of the most respected African-American community newsmagazines in America, you are sharing a part of history -- a contemporary publication that speaks to the issues of today ,as eloquently and as forcefully as Roudanez did back then. We don't publish The Tribune in French and English the way Roudanez did in the 1860's, but we think he would have been proud of how well our Tribune speaks the language of the modern African-American experience.

Let’s be clear: the narrative that Black folks must “hold each other accountable” by attacking our own leadership is nothing but a political trick. It’s a strategy designed to divide us, weaken us, and leave us fighting one another while those who have historically conspired against our community slip by unchallenged.

At The New Orleans Tribune, our choice to lead New Orleans as its next mayor is Oliver Thomas.

During his current term as the District E Councilmember, Thomas has been instrumental in advancing legislation that positively impacts the people of the East, the Lower Ninth Ward and all of New Orleans. We know, firsthand, that he does not allow district boundary lines to define or limit his advocacy on behalf of all the people of our city. Do not sit this one out. The stakes are far too high. We must protect and preserve our agency as a community.

For us, that means casting a ballot for Oliver Thomas. He has proven that redemption is possible, that leadership can grow from lessons learned, and that his commitment to the people of New Orleans is unwavering.

This race is not about personalities or ego; it is about the very future of New Orleans. If we allow complacency, disillusionment, or misdirected gestures to suppress our collective will, we will inherit another generation of harm: unchecked gentrification, unbalanced development, educational neglect, widening inequality, and diminished authority of Black citizens in their own city. We cannot let that happen.

The New Orleans Tribune issues a dual endorsement for Jason Hughes and Cyndi Nguyen for City Council, District E

The open race for District E presents voters with two strong candidates: Jason Hughes and Cyndi Nguyen. Both have demonstrated a commitment to public service and a deep understanding of the needs of New Orleans East and the Ninth Ward. The people of District E would be served well by either of the two.

The Tribune endorses Eugene Green for District D Councilmember. In a political climate where others stay quiet, he has shown a willingness to speak up — particularly when his colleagues have supported measures we believe overreach and undermine executive power. He has not hesitated to push back in Council debates when he thought things were unreasonable or contrary to the public interest.
