New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans... Five years ago, tropical storm Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans and the entire Gulf coast region.
Today, New Orleans is smaller, less poor, more Hispanic and less Black.
As the city of New Orleans builds, Blacks are still in the areas not protected from floods. More importantly as usual, the poor suffer and the affluent prosper. Nothing has changed in New Orleans. It's the same "Old Wine in New Bottles."
The lower ninth war in New Orleans used to have 18,200 citizens before hurricane Katrina. The lower ninth ward now has 1800 residents and the city of New Orleans is doing everything in its power to stop those Blacks from coming back into the city. New Orleans will never again be called a Chocolate City. There is no semblance of Black political or economic power in New Orleans today. Hurricane Katrina achieved and accomplished what the Republican Party couldn't which is the disempowerment of the economic and political clout of African Americans. This effect will be felt for decades.
