In 1 hour, Hollis led an incredible tour with better level insight than I have gotten on most other tours elsewhere - speaking from his own experience and taking us to places so important to New Orleans but rarely discussed like the community center, the former Black Wall Street turned into highway overpass, and sharing the stories of the people in his community most impacted by rapid development and hurricane Katrina.”
