New Orleans After The Flood:
The Anatomy of African-American Displacement
with
Gary Rivlin, author Katrina After the Flood, journalist
 
Now, there is a commemorative marker at the site where a floodwall
protecting the Lower Ninth Ward collapsed, unleashing a wall of water
10 years ago during Hurricane Katrina.  The resulting flood wiped out the
African-American neighborhood and killed scores of its residents and
now what has been left in its wake is little more than a commemorative
marker at the site where the floodwall protecting the neighborhood
collapsed. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in southeast
Louisiana Gary Rivlin retraces the storm’s damage, the city of New
Orleans’s efforts to rebuild itself, and the storm’s lasting affects not just
on the city’s geography and infrastructure—but on the psychic, racial,
and social fabric of that city, highlighting the mass dislocation of the
African American residents of the Lower Ninth Ward and why the
neighborhood still hasn’t been thrown a life preserver.

Which Side Are You On?
with 
family members of people killed by police in N.Y., Madison, WI,
Waukegan IL, Detroit and featured speaker Dr. Cornel West
 
    Over 1,000 people a year are killed by police – yet since 2005,
    there have been less than 60 indictments, and fewer than 25
    convictions. "The Washington Post", 4/12/15
 
Building for RiseUpOctober to STOP Police Terror, a series of mass
protests to be held in N.Y. October 22-24, the Committee To Stop
Mass Incarceration filled the historic First Corinthian Baptist Church in
Harlem, where family members of those whose lives were stolen by
police violence spoke, their bodies often shaking and their faces forever
etched in pain.  The families pleas for justice for their loved ones and to
bring an end to racist policing policies and practices and to dismantle
the system of mass incarceration were amplified by voices of conscience
and activist leaders.  By the end of the evening, when asked “which side
are you on” the audience rose as one in their resolve to build a massive
mobilization to Stop Police Terror & Murder, and we bring you the
highlights.
