The overrepresentation of Black individuals in the inner city is no accident. Neither was it by design, but the effects are the same as if it had been.

Recovery Process/Mississippi & New Orleans
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page research paper that discusses the recovery of the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of the 2005 Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Two weeks after Katrina, President Bush stood in Jackson Square in New Orleans and promised that the federal government would do “’what it takes’” to rebuild the Gulf Coast region (Brush). Since that time, he has frequently referred to the $110 billion that Congress has committed to this endeavor. However, only a small portion of these funds have actually reached Katrina victims and rebuilding is extremely slow, with many of the areas of devastation unchanged. The reasons for this are diverse and are affected by political and economic factors. This analysis examines these factors, with particular focus on the gaming economy of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
