Weeks ago, the plan was to report on the progress of AAFD's Contract with Black America.
Instead, the focus will be on African American reactions to government failures in response to Hurrican Katrina, and AAFD's proposal to help establish New Orleans evacuuees (who are mostly black) establish themselves as a constituency that will be heard in further government response efforts. A proposal of tangible actions will be submitted for discussion.

Responding to the initial request, Commissioner Mary Hunt said she would make the tent camp available only under certain conditions.
Hunt described the remarks in a KPQ interview on Tuesday, saying she wanted to ensure people from the disaster area were more family types, "not the ones who were on welfare. Not the ones who didn't have jobs."
Hunt said she has a responsibility to protect local residents.
"I feel sorry for folks who have lived on welfare all their life and have no means of transportation. But I don't think these are the people we want here," she said Wednesday. "It's a fine line. How do you distinguish one from the other. My sympathy goes out to all those people. But we need to protect the people of our county."
Happy Birthday Listener.
ReplyDeletePlease send me your email address again. I've been wanting to send that gift to your sister and I can't find the address you gave me.
