“Lamar White, Jr. is a Louisiana investigative journalist, founder of The Bayou Brief, and, as Rachel Maddow put it, "a hero of transparency and truth-telling." The American Prospect calls him "a Southern muckraker in the tradition of I.F. Stone." On his Substack Imagine Louisiana, he's deep into a multi-year investigation into the New Orleans Mafia and the life of Carlos Marcello. If you care about Louisiana politics, history, and accountability journalism done right, he's essential reading.”...”
