NOLA.com, John Pope…Alfre Woodard, an actress with a shelf full of awards attesting to her talent, has a simple explanation for her success: Somebody showed up. That motivation brought her to Homer A. Plessy Community School, which sits behind a high chain-link fence in New Orleans’ 7th Ward. As a member of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, Woodard is part of its Turnaround Arts initiative, which emphasizes the arts to help low-performing schools and students improve.
