This is the best I could do at preserving CoI's, given that Louisiana has relatively few counties/parishes.

What is the highest black VAP, and can a CD be drawn with over 50% as JL did in MS?

Only 3 districts that are over 30% black VAP:
1-> 35.9%
4-> 35.7%
6-> 34.5%

I don't think its possible to draw a black seat under an IA style map. In MS, the black population is concentrated along the delta. In LA, you'd have to find some way to connect East Baton Rouge and Orleans.
