The C.O.W.S. KATRINA: AFTER THE FLOOD Part I

[jwplayer mediaid=”14747″]
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the debut 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 catastrophic engineering failure and negligence that drowned New Orleans in August of 2005. His 2015 publication reviews a decade of lopsided “recovery;” more explicitly, ten years of black New Orleanians being displaced and deliberately impeded 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. 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.
