Yesterday, a contingent from the Gulf Coast joined twelve thousand people in a nonviolent protest against dirty energy at the White House. The advocates are trying to stop President Obama from approving the Keystone XL pipeline. If built, the 1,700-mile pipeline will stretch all the way from Alberta, Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast, where "tar sands" sludge would be refined into oil.
Criticism of BP "claims czar" Kenneth Feinberg continued this weekend at a town hall meeting in Louisiana, and this time members of Congress were listening.
In far New Orleans East, between Lake Pontchartrain and I-10, sits the forgotten community Little Woods. Since Katrina, few resources and programs of assistance have reached this community, which is 95% Black.
