Bill Quigley | Ten Months After Katrina: Gutting New Orleans

Bill Quigley writes, "Still finding dead bodies ... vacant houses stretch mile after mile ... 200,000 have not made it back ... severe shortages of affordable housing ... levees are not yet as strong as they were before Katrina ... not a single dollar of federal housing repair or home reconstruction money has made it to New Orleans ... tens of thousands are waiting ... Most groups here have adopted the theme - Solidarity not Charity. Or as aboriginal activist Lila Watson once said: 'If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us struggle together.'"
