On Saturday, a multifaith memorial service including a jazz funeral, one of the city’s most distinct traditions, paid tribute to the humanity of those coming home to their final resting place at the Hurricane Katrina Memorial. “We ironically know these 19 because of the horrific thing that happened to them after their death, the desecration of their bodies,” said Monique Guillory, president of Dillard University, a…

Facebook Tweet Email Link Imprisoned former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight, who for decades shared an acrimonious relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, urged his longtime archrival to take the stand in his ongoing trial. Speaking to CNN’s Laura Coates in a brief phone interview from prison, where he’s serving a 28-year-sentence for a deadly hit-and-run in 2015, Knight said he believed Combs should “humanize” himself. “I feel if he do tell his truth, he really would walk,” Knight said. “If Puffy goes up there and says, ‘Hey … I did all the drugs, I wasn’t in control of my life…
