    RE: Southern University at Shreveport Foundation 20th Annual Gentlemen’s Cooking Classic Southern University at Shreveport Foundation will host one of the most anticipated events of the year, The 20th Annual Gentlemen’s Cooking Classic (GCC), on Saturday, June 08, 2019, from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., at the Shreveport Convention Center, 400 Caddo Street, in downtown Shreveport, LA. This event showcases exquisite dishes prepared and served by area politicians, civic and community leaders. The theme for this year’s event is “Celebrating Twenty Years: Men On Fire - Cooking Southern Style!” For one day, distinguished gents and gems exchange their designer suits, Mont Blanc pens and/or uniforms for aprons and spatulas to support raising funds for Southern University at Shreveport students. The event’s principal purpose is to raise money for scholarships for Shreveport/Bossier and surrounding areas students attending Southern University at Shreveport, while serving at the same time, some of the best food in town. The Gentlemen’s Cooking Classic has hosted more than seventy chefs and thousands of patrons in the past and by far is the Foundation’s most successful fundraising event. Some of our past celebrity participants included: Honorable Mayor Adrian Perkins - City of Shreveport, former Mayor Ollie Tyler, former Mayor Cedric B. Glover, former Mayor Keith Hightower, Louisiana State Senator Greg Tarver, 39th Congressional District, former U.S. Congressman Jim McCrery, Sheriff Steve Prator, Rev. Theron Jackson, Pastor/Morning Star MBC, Dr. Larry Clark, Chancellor/LSU-S, and Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser, just to name few. The popularity of the (GCC) continues to grow each year, and can easily boast of holding the community’s record for the most participating chefs for a food event.

  • 2014 Shreveport Mayoral Forum Candidate Responses
    2014 SHREVEPORT MAYORAL FORUM CANDIDATE RESPONSES PURPOSE This document was produced by PACE (People Acting for Change and Equality) for the purpose of sharing the responses of the 2014 Shreveport Mayoral Candidates to questions regarding LGBT issues. This document is broken down by question, or questions, as some issues were broken down into multiple questions, with the responses from each candidate following directly after. Unless otherwise noted with the bolded text “PACE NOTE”, the response is as close to what the candidate said as possible. At the forum, each question began with a different candidate, so the answers here are presented in the order they were answered. QUESTION 1 Richard Florida, a noted public policy expert, has looked at a key factor in whether a city will thrive or struggle—whether newcomers to the city skew toward college grads or high school dropouts. This is reported in his recent publication in The Atlantic titled: “High School Dropouts and College Grads are Moving to Very Different Places.” He finds the best predictor of whether educated talent comes to a city is the concentration of gays and lesbians in that city. This is because an active and visible gay and lesbian population signals the open-mindedness, tolerance, and diversity valued by the highly educated. From the most recent census data, Shreveport/Bossier City has 23.5% college graduates among adults 25 and older, well below the national average of 28.5%. Austin, Texas, a magnet for creative class knowledge-based workers, has 40.6%. In 2012, Caddo’s high school graduation rate was 63.4% while Austin’s was 82.5%.
