The Ledger Quarterly Digest – Issue No. 1 – June–August 2026.

This first Quarterly Digest gathers our coverage from June to August 2026: student safety debates, local institutions, clinic and asylum interviews, business features, community gatherings, Bayou Brawls, strange rumors from the fog, and the restless life of Laveau’s streets, bars, docks, and back rooms.

Tucked beneath the same roof as the Asylum, the medical clinic has long been one of Laveau’s necessary institutions: useful, feared,...

Dangerous Reputation or Unfair Stereotype? The Debate Over Student Trips to Laveau

In a recent internal email exchange at CU University, faculty members have once again raised serious concerns about students — particularly groups of young women — organizing trips to Laveau, an area with a well-documented reputation for violence, sexual abuse, and links to modern slavery.
