Close to two years after the terrible Hurricane
Katrina, which ravaged New Orleans and Louisiana, hundreds of
thousands of families, mostly Black, are still dispersed throughout
the four corners of the United States and prohibited from return
to their homes.
Of the US$850 million dollars in international
aid to the United States after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, only
$40 million have been used. The distribution of supplies, medications,
and services offered were delayed -- if not rejected -- by the
federal government.
At the end of August 2007, an independent international
tribunal will take place in New Orleans to judge those responsible
in the federal and state governments in the United States. The
St. Louis program will help raise awareness of the tribunal.
