McDonogh Day was, and remains to a very limited extent, a ritual in the New Orleans Public Schools. In May of every year, delegations of students would be brought to Lafayette Square, in front of what was then City Hall, to participate in a ceremony paying homage to the late John McDonogh, a 19th-century philanthropist who had endowed many of the public schools in the city.

I thought New Orleans didn't have any public schools anymore.

I thought McDonogh had been canceled sometime before COVID.

The statue is safe and sound at an undisclosed location. I have laid eyes on it.
