  • Episode 15: Gov. John Bel Edwards on Being a Deep South Democrat
    Jul 17 2023
    Louisiana is a unique state and Charles Lane knows its history; his 2008 book, The Day Freedom Died (https://www.amazon.com/Day-Freedom-Died-Charles-Lane/dp/0805089225), told the story of the Colfax Massacre of 1873, in which dozens of Black men were slain. And the state has a unique governor, John Bel Edwards, who has been elected to two terms as a rare pro-Medicaid expansion, pro-life Democrat. Charles met the governor at the recent dedication of a monument to the victims at Colfax and asked him to join the podcast to discuss his unusual place in American politics.
