Abstract
- The article discusses the failure of efforts to rebuild the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Topics include home ownership in the mostly African American and working class community, misinformation about the elevation of the neighborhood, and the takeover of city schools by Louisiana's Recovery School District (RSD). The failure of the federal Road Home program to compensate many African American home owners is noted.
