I went to the Museum of Death! | New Orleans Day #2
This is the second installment to the New Orleans vlog series. Today I tried some beignets (which are delicious) for breakfast. Then I got to go to the Museum of Death, where they have exhibits about oddities, murderers, preservation, cannibalism, etc. Then we got to walk around the French Quarter some.

Visiting the National WWII Museum in New Orleans
Come along as I visit the National WWII Museum in New Orleans! This museum had been on my wish list for a very long time and it didn't disappoint! I hope this video gives you some information about the museum and a general overview if you've been interested in going! There is so much more to this place that I can't fit into one 10 minute video, so I highly recommend visiting it if your're interested in WWII history!

Halloween horror at the Museum of Death
Hollywood's Museum of Death is promising a horror fest this Halloween.
It features some of the world's most famous serial killers and their exploits in the hope of attracting more visitors to tinsel town.
Grisly skulls, cremated remains and killer exhibits. This is the Museum of Death.
Located in the heart of LA's famed film district, it houses the world's largest collection of serial murder artefacts.
Founders J. D. Healy and Cathee Schultz started the museum to share their own collections.
They say they wanted people to be able to revel in all things deathly.
The Museum of Death is a museum dedicated to death that incorporates everything from serial killer artwork and letters, execution videos, mortician devices, famous crime scene photographs, skulls, body bags, suicide - anything that you can think of about death, we have it here, says Healy.
The museum's 45-minute walk through begins with the Serial Killer Archives section.
Here, newspaper articles, letters and artwork are displayed, belonging to killers such as John Gacy - the so-called Killer Clown who was convicted of the sexual assault and murder of some 33 teenage boys and men; Richard Ramirez , dubbed the ' Night Stalker' ; and David Berkowitz, the notorious Son of Sam who claimed a demon dog ordered him to kill.
Next is the Execution Room.
An electric chair sits next to a real severed head.
It's that of Henri Desire Landru who was beheaded by guillotine in 1922.
Landru was a serial killer in France, who put ads in the 'lonely hearts' sections of Paris newspapers to attract unknowing victims.
Also in the Execution Room are articles on Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh and photos of executed killer Ted Bundy.
When you come to the Museum of Death you definitely can't be squeamish because we like to call them falling down ovations when the boys - and it's usually boys or men - fall over and actually pass out, says Shultz.
Elsewhere in the museum is the Mortician & Funeral Room.
Here, there's items used in funeral homes over the years including caskets and embalming tools.
The so-called Carnage Corridor includes real human skulls on display next to several animal skulls and skeletons.
In Suicide hall, the museum has recreated the suicide of a cult member, the mannequin is even dressed in victim's real clothes.
Next to that sit displays of articles, pictures and artefacts relating to well-known names throughout history including Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
In the California Death Room, Charles Manson takes up an entire alcove.
In 1969, actress Sharon Tate and four other people were found brutally slain at Tate's Los Angeles home; cult leader Charles Manson and a group of his followers were later convicted of the crime.
Well-known as the leader of the Manson Family, the museum features pictures, articles and newspapers on the famed criminal - not to mention this haunting cardboard cut-out.
As visitors turn a corner, there's a showcase of newspaper articles on O.J, Simpson, he's currently incarcerated in Nevada Prison in the US.
In 1995, he was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Also in the room is the story of the so-called 'Black Dahlia' murder.
The nickname was given to Elizabeth Short, who died in a gruesome murder in 1947 Los Angeles.
The Cannibal Niche room has items related to Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as the 'Milwaukee Cannibal'.
The Museum of Death is just one part of Hollywood's countless tourist destinations.
According to President and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Leron Gubler, they've been working hard to show tourists the district isn't all glitter and glamour.
Twenty-two years ago, Hollywood was not what people envisioned, he says.

Largest slave revolt in U.S. history lives on in reenactment
In 1811, more than 200 enslaved people in present-day Louisiana launched the largest insurgency of people in bondage in U.S. history. The revolt lasted only a few days before the poorly armed rebels were crushed by a militia and U.S. troops. But more than two centuries later, their story is living on in a performance called Slave Rebellion Reenactment. Special Correspondent Brian Palmer reports.

Life in Old Louisiana (1830-1850)
This sort of documentary was made in 1941 (as stated in the opening titles). This short film depicts the culture of old Louisiana, including such aspects as slavery on cotton and cane plantations, the prevailing French language, Mississippi River trade, education, religion and music.
The film focuses on the elite and (wealthy) white families, such as plantation owners and business men. Sadly enough the delicate matters e.g. about how coloured people were treated in those days, are apparently insignificant. This documentary however (even when it's not really an accurate survey of history) might still be an interesting image of the time.

Life in Louisiana
4,800 people are serving life without parole in Louisiana.
That’s more than the number of people serving life without parole in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas – combined, according to a 2017 report by the Sentencing Project.
Louisiana is one of only two states in the country that has a mandatory life sentence without parole for second-degree murder.
To address laws like this that made Louisiana the incarceration capital of the world, a Justice Reinvestment Task Force reviewed the state’s policies and recommended a number of changes aimed at reducing the prison population, saving tax dollars and improving public safety.
As the recommendations worked their way through the Louisiana Legislature, 10 bills passed, but the language that would give people serving long sentences like Starr an opportunity to share their stories with a parole board was left on the cutting room floor.
The legislation would have extended parole eligibility to those who have served 20 years and are reaching age 45 and would have made most lifers eligible for parole after serving 30 years in prison and reaching age 50.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Colfax massacre, or Colfax riot as the events are termed on the 1950 state historic marker, occurred on Easter Sunday, April 13, 1873, in Colfax, Louisiana, the seat of Grant Parish, when approximately 150 black men were murdered by white Southerners. The bloodiest single instance of racial carnage in the Reconstruction era, the Colfax massacre was an example of the lengths to which some opponents of Reconstruction would go to regain their accustomed authority. Among blacks, the incident was long remembered as proof that in any large confrontation, they stood at a fatal disadvantage.In the wake of the contested 1872 election for governor of Louisiana and local offices, a group of white Democrats armed with rifles and a small cannon, overpowered Republican freedmen and state militia (also black) occupying the Grant Parish courthouse in Colfax. Most of the freedmen were killed after they surrendered; nearly 50 were killed later that night after being held as prisoners for several hours. Estimates of the number of dead have varied, ranging from 62 to 153; three whites died but the number of black victims was difficult to determine because bodies had been thrown into the river or removed for burial. There were rumors of mass graves at the site.
Historian Eric Foner described the massacre as the worst instance of racial violence during Reconstruction. In Louisiana, it had the highest fatalities of any of the numerous violent events following the disputed gubernatorial contest in 1872 between Republicans and Democrats. Foner wrote, ...every election [in Louisiana] between 1868 and 1876 was marked by rampant violence and pervasive fraud. Although the Fusionist-dominated state returning board, which ruled on vote validity, initially declared John McEnery and his Democratic slate the winners, the board eventually split, with a faction declaring Republican William P. Kellogg the victor. A Republican federal judge in New Orleans ruled that the Republican-majority legislature be seated.Federal prosecution and conviction of a few perpetrators at Colfax under the Enforcement Acts was appealed to the Supreme Court. In a key case, the court ruled in United States v. Cruikshank (1876) that protections of the Fourteenth Amendment did not apply to the actions of individuals, but only to the actions of state governments. After this ruling, the federal government could no longer use the Enforcement Act of 1870 to prosecute actions by paramilitary groups such as the White League, which had chapters forming across Louisiana beginning in 1874. Intimidation and black voter suppression by such paramilitary groups were instrumental to the Democratic Party regaining political control in the state legislature by the late 1870s.
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, historians have paid renewed attention to the events at Colfax and the resulting Supreme Court case, and their meaning in American history.

The Death of the Non-Unanimous Jury
The legacy of Jim Crow continues to loom large in the United States. But nowhere is it arguably more evident than in Louisiana. In 1898, a constitutional convention successfully codified a slew of Jim Crow laws in a flagrant effort to disenfranchise black voters and otherwise infringe on their rights. “Our mission was to establish the supremacy of the white race in this State to the extent to which it could be legally and constitutionally done,” wrote Judiciary Committee Chairman Thomas Semmes.
One of these laws sought to maintain white supremacy in state courtrooms. In response to the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment, which required the state to include black people on juries, Louisiana lawmakers and voters ratified a nonunanimous-jury law. This meant that a split jury—a verdict of 11–1 or 10–2—could convict a defendant to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The law was designed to marginalize black jurors on majority-white juries, and many believe that it has contributed to the state’s status as the prison capital of the world. (Until 2017, Louisiana had the highest incarceration rate in the nation.)
“Nonunanimous juries are a vestige of Jim Crow,” says William Snowden, a member of the Unanimous Jury Coalition, in Sean Mattison’s short documentary Jim Crow’s Last Stand. The rousing film captures the efforts of the group to pass Louisiana Amendment 2, a bipartisan measure on the midterm ballot to eliminate nonunanimous-jury convictions in felony trials. In November, 64 percent of Louisianans voted yes. Read more:

The South
Music By: The Cadillac Three (WE DO NOT OWN)
Download the song here:
In October of 2014 our boss sent us an email asking if we could make a video for LSU and the upcoming 2015 football season. Upon hearing the song we immediately saw that this video was our chance to really dive into a project all the way and attempt to make the best video that we could possibly make.
Our goal with this video was to attempt to capture The South and how deep down everyone is an LSU fan at heart. We did our best over the course of 9 months to capture every nook and cranny of this beautiful state while balancing school full time and our AMAZING job at LSU Athletics.
This video would not be possible without the help of friends and friends of friends of friends of friends that we met along the way. You all were an answer to a prayer that we prayed daily before we went out to shoot. Caleb and I asked that God would open doors to people and opportunities that we could have never even attempted to plan. The incredible people listed below and this video are a testament to that prayer.
This video is the first of many projects that Caleb and I hope to work together on. We both believe that God has called us to make movies when we graduate and so we are trying to get as much practice as can before then. We are currently filming a movie called From My Eyes... where I (Darrick) have been carrying a camera around for the past 3 years of college (As of October 16th 2012) and will continue to do it until we graduate basically documenting my walk through college and everything in between. Our hope is that through this movie and through our channel we will be able to encourage our audience to wake up every morning, go out and Live A Life Worth Filming.
That is what we did when we made this video, we woke up every morning and did our best to Live A Life Worth Filming and honor God along the way. So as you watch this video know that there is no way that there would be a video posted here if God hadn't ordered our steps along the way and opened doors to people and opportunities that we could have never imagined. Thank you again to all of you who were a part in this video, it wouldn't have worked without you!!!!!
