Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana’s 2nd district, shared his thoughts on social issues and community development through a series of tweets on November 22, 2024.

In a tweet posted at 14:37 UTC, Congressman Carter reflected on the tragic death of Tamir Rice. He stated, “Today marks 10 years since 12-year-old Tamir Rice was tragically killed by a police officer while playing with a toy gun. A decade later, the Black community continues to grapple with the fear and trauma of police brutality, racial profiling, and discrimination. Let’s honor Tamir…”

Later that day at 19:07 UTC, he highlighted ongoing efforts to revitalize Lincoln Beach in New Orleans. Congressman Carter tweeted, “#LincolnBeach is an integral part of our community’s history, and I’m proud to have secured millions of federal dollars to revitalize it.
