The 2005 crisis created by Hurricane Katrina was a clear demonstration of how institutional racism and inequality have created vast disparities between black and white communities. When the storm devastated New Orleans, the mainstream media initially focused on its destruction and and economic impact, but left the role of racism and its disproportionate devastation on communities of color virtually untouched.
Dr. Hasan Jeffries lends a historic perspective to our virtual BPL book club pick, The Yellow House, which is set over decades in New Orleans. In this program, Dr. Jeffries discusses how race and class impacted not only the results of Hurricane Katrina, but continue to effect the country's response to natural man-made disasters today.
