This is part of a requirement for my Media, Race and Gender class but I hope that the website grows beyond the class. What I have noticed is that, over time, the case of the devastating brought by Hurricane Katrina to New Orleans has fallen off the news radar. However, the place, as you have said, is still depressing to look at. Is it not a shame that once the cameras stopped rolling, once it was no longer fashionable for the celebrities to flock to New Orleans, once the embarrassment stopped bothering the people, New Orleans ceased to matter, especially with the powerful media that sets the agenda. But there are people out there still waiting to get into homes, people having to do without water and electricity in some instances. How the most powerful, richest nation on earth can let that happen is a huge shame. Actually, how can this be the richest nation ever when its people can barely afford to live here?

Its great you got to see more than the touristy stuff. I took the public bus into town when I got there and it really put things into perspective. Casey, it was good to see you in NOLA.
