...adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” is often heard. Yet very few people can harness a thousand words’ worth of potential from a single image. Abigail Child ’68 is one exception.

What if just 100 people would have left New Orleans if they had had a few thousand more dollars to spend on transportation and hotel rooms? How many people lost their lives because the Louisiana Supreme Court didn’t think New Orleans had the right to demand a minimum level of economic security for its citizens...
