The C.O.W.S. KATRINA: AFTER THE FLOOD Part II
from The C.O.W.S.
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 2nd study session on Gary Rivlin's Katrina: After The Flood. Mr. Rivlin is a White man; while working for the New York Times he covered the cataclysmic engineering debacle and negligence that drowned New Orleans in August of 2005. His 2015 publication investigates a decade of asymmetrical "recovery." To be specific, ten years of black New Orleanians being rebuffed and deliberately blocked from reconstructing their lives. His examination reviews all areas of people activity: the institution of charter schools, the destruction of public housing, and outright looting of funds designated for flood victims. The starts with the infamous Crescent City Bridge blockade, where mostly black citizens are repulsed at gunpoint from entering the mostly White enclave of Gretna. We hope this text will offer a more complete understanding of Hurricane Katrina and it's aftermath as a meticulously planned campaign of genocide against black New Orleanians.
