Kirsten:

When hurricaine diasters struck the south in the 30's and 50's, historians did not write about the plight of the black and poor.

The institution of racism back then was not challenged or examined as it is today.


Nor was there any videotape to instant replay the suffering.

PS
catch phrase of the day:
"Who are you going to believe, Bush and Chertof - or your lying eyes?"
