And we are going to stand up together, fight and show them that this is America and that we we will overcome.” “New Orleans entertainment ambassador Percy “Master P” Miller said Saturday on “One Nation.” “We have resilience when you talk about the city of New Orleans, and we’re going to bounce back.”
