I remember Black panther attack on Baton Rouge better to be honest because my mom was working right there
Nation of Islam. January 1972. That event happened on North Boulevard across the street from the Temple Theater in front of the future site of Tabby's Blues Box.

To be honest, it's surprising that there haven't been more previous issues with Mardi Gras and all the other events New Orleans hosts that bring gigantic crowds.
I've thought that every time I see an Arab cabbie stuck waiting for a gap in the crowd at a crossing on Bourbon during Mardi Gras. So easy to put an explosive in a trunk.

A few weeks before Essex, an arsonist torched the Rault Center, killing four women who had to jump from a hair salon on the 15th floor, as well as two men who died in a stairwell. That was a dark and traumatic time for Nola.

That happened around the same time the Zebra Killings were going on. There's evidence that both and other incidents were part of a national terror effort on the part of black militant groups, but it just sort of went away.
