Description
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 4th study session on Gary Rivlin's Katrina: After The Flood. Mr. Rivlin is a White man; while working for the New York Times he reported on the historic engineering failure and negligence that devastated New Orleans in August of 2005. His 2015 bestseller looks at ten years of asymmetrical "recovery." To be explicit, a decade of black New Orleanians being racially dislocated and intentionally impeded from reconstructing their lives. Rivlin probes all areas of people activity: the institution of charter schools, the destruction of public housing, and outright looting of resources designated for flood victims. Last week's session provided critical information on the history of White Terrorism in New Orleans, including the "construction of I-10 through the center of Treme" - one of the oldest black neighborhoods in the country. Rivlin recounts Mayor Nagin's post-storm, Dallas, Texas meetings with Min. Louis Farrakhan and New Orleans' White aristocracy and emphasizes how preliminary reports on Katrina's destruction omitted the monumental devastation in predominantly black New Orleans East. 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.
