On this week's episode of We'll be Right Back, we are joined by Howie Kaplan, the owner of The Howlin' Wolf! We shift our focus a bit as we discuss the impact of Covid-19 on New Orleans's music community, as well as the various initiatives to help them. We also discuss the coming "summer slowdown" for the music and hospitality industries.

Today, we’d like to highlight and encourage you all to check out the Made in New Orleans Foundation (MiNO). MiNO envisions a New Orleans hospitality industry that leads the world in growing, supporting, and financing the success of people of color. They use a multidisciplinary approach to address and eliminate disparities facing hospitality professionals of color. In response to COVID-19 MiNO is providing immediate emergency financial aid and resources; supporting career and business recovery; and providing online programming to amplify the voices of hospitality professionals of color.
The city of New Orleans has rolled out a new visualization tool for the public to see and assess milestones as we deal with Covid-19.
