NEW ORLEANS — Restaurant owner Robert LeBlanc always had a diverse group of friends so he never really thought of race as an issue in his life.
" I was always open-minded. I don't ever think I considered myself to be racist. My parents did a good job of not seeing color and that was the goal," explains LeBlanc.
After the death of George Floyd, LeBlanc looked around at the world and his world, the hospitality industry, and realized that "not seeing color" wasn't enough.
