Caleb Wilson’s Legacy Runs On | New Orleans News

A tragic hazing death at Southern University has sparked a powerful movement across Louisiana, culminating in a 5K race honoring Caleb Wilson in New Orleans. The event, set against the scenic Mississippi River, kicked off with an air horn and united community members determined to end campus hazing — one they say they’ve had enough of. Wilson’s death led to the fraternity’s ban and arrests of five men, including Caleb McCray, accused of punching Wilson repeatedly before he collapsed. His family, devastated but resolute, urges students to speak up and not stay silent. The Caleb Wilson Hazing Prevention Act now mandates training, public reporting, and permanent bans for responsible organizations. All defendants have pleaded not guilty, with their next court date set for December 8th. Runners, organizers, and advocates are keeping his legacy alive — running for him, and for every student who’s suffered in silence.
