Katrina survivors speak out

Katrina survivors speak out: "(FinalCall.com) - The devastation and destruction of Hurricane Katrina has shocked America and changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people forever—from New Orleans to Houston, from Baton Rouge to Dallas and other areas in the Gulf Coast Region to other regions across the country. The current crisis has left many unanswered questions regarding Hurricane Katrina, the role and the response of the U.S. government and private relief agencies. On Sept. 11, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and a delegation from the Millions More Movement toured affected areas to begin a fact-finding mission and listen to the suffering voices of the survivors to truly understand the breadth and depth of their needs.

Minister Farrakhan described the day as a “whirlwind” mission, wherein he traveled to Dallas, for a private meeting with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who is currently residing with his family there; to Houston to tour the relief centers and listen to survivors at a town hall meeting; to Baton Rouge, La., to address an audience of clergymen and community leaders and finally to Jackson, Miss., to meet with many of the Black mayors of smaller cities and towns in that area that have been devastated by Katrina but ignored by federal relief agencies, as well as the media."
